On Sunday, February 16, in the 25th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool faced Wolverhampton.
The "Reds" secured another three points with two goals in the first half. Wolverhampton did not look hopeless and played a brilliant second half, but they could not salvage the match.
Midway through the second half, Matheus Cunha scored another goal, finishing from the edge of the penalty area. Notably, this goal marked Cunha’s fifth of the season scored from outside the penalty box, more than any other player in the current campaign. Interestingly, he also scored a direct corner kick goal against Manchester United.
Additionally, Cunha netted his 12th goal of the Premier League season, matching his career-best record from last year.
The defeat prevented Wolverhampton from distancing themselves from the relegation zone. Ipswich and Leicester are just two points behind the team managed by Pereira, who is currently in 17th place.
