[Goal.com] Reporter Park Moon-soo = With Hwang Hee-chan inducing the opponent’s own goal, Wolverhampton won 3-0 at home against Liverpool. It is Wolverhampton’s first win against Liverpool in terms of the Premier League. The last victory was in 1981. Including away games, it was Wolverhampton who won three league points against Liverpool for the first time since December 2010.

Wolverhampton won 3-0 in the home game against Liverpool in the ‘2022/23 Season Premier League Round 22’ held at the ‘Molinew Stadium’ on the morning of the 5th.

With three points, Wolverhampton managed to escape the relegation zone by beating Everton, who beat leaders Arsenal 1-0 in the previous game. On the other hand, Liverpool tasted the humiliation of losing to Wolverhampton away for the first time in the Premier League standard with this defeat against Wolverhampton. Above all, the away game results are disastrous. Liverpool have 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in the last 10 league away matches.

On this day, coach Lopetegi’s Wolves came out with a 4-3-3 formation. With Kunya, Sarabia, and Hwang Hee-chan as three tops, Neves, Nunes, and Lemina teamed up in the midfield. In the back four, Semedo, Dawson, Kilman and Nuri, José Saga kept the goal.

The visiting team Liverpool also faced with a 4-3-3 formation. Núñez, Gakpo and Salah went on a three-top. Thiago, Keita and Vycetic matched in midfield. Arnold, Matip, Gomes and Robertson were the four backs, and Alisson wore goalkeeper gloves.

Unexpectedly in the first half, Wolverhampton took the lead. The number of shots was equal, but there was a difference in effective shots.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Wolverhampton opened the scoring. The starting point was Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan attempted a shot from the right side of the penalty box, was hit by Matip and deflected, leading to the first goal. When the ball came up from the right flank, Hwang Hee-chan dispersed the Liverpool defense with an appropriate rush to the goal. He was not recognized as a goal, but he induced the opponent’s own goal and showed a Liverpool killer.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Wolverhampton’s Dawson started an extra goal. After the set-piece, Dawson shook the net with a powerful right-footed shot in the Liverpool goal. Dawson’s shooting was good, but the Liverpool defense was also a problem. I was confused and I was helpless in the situation before the door.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Núñez attempted a sensuous right-footed shot, but goalkeeper Jose Sa blocked it. In the 20th minute of the first half, Salah hit a left-footed shot in front of the goal but missed it. In the 24th minute of the first half, Keita’s mid-range shot was also weak.

At the end of the first half, bad things happened to Wolverhampton. Hwang Hee-chan complained of a hamstring injury in the 39th minute of the first half. Coach Lopetegui replaced Hwang Hee-chan and Adama Traore in the 42nd minute.

Liverpool, who finished the first half 0-2, continued the offensive in the early part of the second half. Liverpool had a chance in the 5th minute of the second half. In a counterattack situation, Keita, who received a pass from Núñez, tried to shoot but was blocked by the opponent’s defensive wall. In the 10th minute of the second half, Salah had another chance, and he hit a left-footed shot, but it was hard to get a zero point.

Liverpool also had a chance in the 16th minute of the second half. It was salah this time too. Gakpo intercepted the opponent’s defensive mistake, and then gave a pass to Salah. Salah attempted a left-footed inside shot, but this time it also missed the goal. In the 22nd minute of the second half, Núñez also attempted a shot, but this time it could not penetrate the goalkeeper José Sa.

Rather, Wolverhampton ran away with an additional score and ran 3-0. The main character was Neves. Taking advantage of the mistakes of the Liverpool defense, Wolverhampton momentarily pulled the reins of the attack, and Neves pushed in a pass that Traore laid low from the right to make it 3-0.

The momentary counterattack of Wolverhampton stood out. At the same time, the Liverpool defense collapsed helplessly as Neves rushed to the goal. A player came into the center, but no one stopped Neves.

Liverpool continued their offensive until the end of the game, but the goal they were waiting for did not come. That’s how the match ended with Wolverhampton’s 3-0 victory. 토토사이트
