Roberto Firmino struck another late winner for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's men opened up a 16-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory at Wolves on Thursday. Liverpool also lost Sadio Mane to a first half injury and were grateful to goalkeeper Alisson Becker for not falling behind in the second half. Liverpool, who now have 22 wins in 23 league games this season, also have a game in hand over second-placed Manchester City to come. Defeat leaves Wolves still six points off the top four in seventh. The Senegalese has scored 15 goals this season and could now be a doubt for the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League last 16 tie at Atletico Madrid in less than four weeks' time.
