Liverpool’s revival under Arne Slot continued with a hard-fought 2–1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, but while the headlines may focus on marquee names, one player quietly stole the show.
The Reds didn’t fly out of the blocks, with both sides easing into the contest at Anfield. However, once Liverpool found their rhythm, the difference-maker emerged — Jeremie Frimpong.
How Liverpool Took Control
The breakthrough arrived after a moment of pure intent down the right flank. Frimpong surged past two Wolves defenders, drove into the box, and showed impressive composure to pull the ball back for Ryan Gravenberch, who powered his finish into the corner.
Liverpool doubled their lead later in the half when Florian Wirtz finally opened his Premier League account for the club, giving the home crowd something to celebrate.
Wolves did respond after the interval. Alisson Becker initially denied Tolu Arokodare, but Santiago Bueno reacted quickest to convert the rebound and inject tension into the match. Despite the pressure, Liverpool held firm to secure their third straight league win, climbing up to fourth place in the table.
Frimpong’s Statement Performance
Signed as the successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold, Frimpong’s Liverpool career has been disrupted by injuries, limiting his opportunities to build momentum. Against Wolves, however, the Dutchman reminded everyone exactly what he brings to this side.
Beyond his assist, Frimpong delivered a tireless all-round display. He created chances, stretched Wolves defensively with his pace, and remained disciplined at the back when called upon. Notably, he won every ground duel he contested and was never beaten in a one-on-one situation.
If fitness permits, Arne Slot may have discovered a crucial weapon for the remainder of the season.

One fan summed it up perfectly: keep him healthy, and Liverpool will feel the difference.
Final Thoughts
While big signings often dominate the spotlight, Liverpool’s win over Wolves showed that impact doesn’t always come from the most talked-about name. Frimpong’s energy, awareness, and attacking threat gave the Reds a new dimension — and if this performance is a sign of things to come, Liverpool fans have plenty to be excited about. 🔴✨
