Liverpool had to overcome a halftime deficit to secure their third come-from-behind victory in the Premier League this season, as they triumphed 3-1 over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The match saw a dramatic turnaround, with Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott playing pivotal roles. Elliott sealed the win for Liverpool with a precise strike from just outside the penalty area in the 90th minute.
In this decisive moment, the 20-year-old received the ball from Mohamed Salah around 20 yards out.
With great composure, Elliott fired a shot that found its way into the back of the net, possibly with a little help from deflections off Hugo Bueno and the post.
Nevertheless, Liverpool supporters were overjoyed by the goal.
