<p><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/pep-taunts-liverpool-over-failure-to-hit-100-points-in-epl-season-23484373" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Liverpool</strong></a> moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League as Luis Diaz ended his goal drought to spark a tense 2-1 win against struggling Wolves on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Arne Slot&rsquo;s side got back on track after an unexpectedly poor week thanks to Diaz&rsquo;s first goal in 2025 and yet another Mohamed Salah strike.</p>
<h2>Diaz ends goal drought&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Diaz opened the scoring early in the first half at Anfield as the Colombian forward finally scored for the 13th time this term after 10 games without a goal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While Diaz has struggled to find the net, Salah is in red-hot form and his penalty before the interval took the Egypt star to 28 goals in all competitions this season.<br />&nbsp;<br />Matheus Cunha netted in the second half for fourth-bottom Wolves, but although Liverpool looked tired in a disjointed, nervous, climax, they held on for a valuable victory.</p>
<p>Liverpool had gone two games without a win: an embarrassing FA Cup fourth round loss at second tier Plymouth last weekend and the stormy 2-2 draw at Everton on Wednesday.</p>
<h2>Arsenal in second place</h2>
<p>Arsenal&rsquo;s 2-0 win at Leicester on Saturday had applied a little more pressure on Liverpool. &nbsp;However, the Reds responded to Arsenal&rsquo;s challenge as they moved a step closer to a record-equalling 20th English title.</p>
<p>They currently sit atop the English Premier League table with 60 points in hand. Arne Slot&rsquo;s men face Aston Villa next, on Thursday, February 20.</p>
