Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 away on Saturday thanks to two late goals in a scintillating comeback that sent the Reds - at least temporarily - to the top of the Premier League table.
The hosts dominated the first half at Molineux against an unusually sloppy Liverpool, with Hwang Hee-chan stroking in a 7th minute goal after a brilliant run from Pedro Neto, before Wolves missed a string of further chances.
Liverpool came out transformed in the second half, however, and Mohamed Salah set up fellow striker Cody Gakpo for a tap-in equaliser in the 55th minute.
Wearing the captain’s armband on his 200th Premier League appearance, Andy Robertson slid in Liverpool’s second from another Salah pass in the 85th minute as the visitors poured forward.
Liverpool made it three in time added on, with Wolves’ Hugo Bueno touching the ball into his own net from a shot by Harvey Elliott, sending the away fans into delirium.
The result put Liverpool top of the table for now on 13 points after five games. Wolves are 15th on three points.

Wolves v Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp told BBC Sport ahead of the game: “We have to see, it’s all early days for all the teams. Things cannot be settled yet so you have to work really hard to get game ideas on the pitch.”
On his team changes: “The South Americans came back really late. We need them as substitutes. That’s the two offensive changes.
“Ibrahima Konate only came back two days ago, we could have forced it, but Jarell Quansah came on twice and did really well. We tust him so I hope he can enjoy it.”

Jurgen Klopp spoke yesterday about his displeasure at having to play the early fixture on Saturday.
Last season Liverpool did not win any of their 12.30pm fixtures, but have the chance to rectify that at Wolves.

It has been a slight case of contrasting fortunes for the two teams - although it is worth mentioning that we are only four games into the season.
Wolves have just one win and three defeats so far, but will be relatively confident as five teams have had worse starts to the season.
While Liverpool sit level on points with Tottenham and just two behind Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have won three and drawn one game so far this campaign, although there have been problems concerning the midfield.
Wolves v Liverpool
The first of the Premier League fixtures after the international break sees Liverpool take on Wolves.
The reds have a chance to go top of the league - at least until the other sides play, and have 10 points from their first four matches.
But here is a look back to one of the sagas that dominated the transfer window and headlines before the international break:
Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Mohamed Salah is staying at Liverpool as Dominik Szoboszlai revealed the Egyptian had told his teammates he wants to remain at Anfield rather than accept a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool rejected a £150m bid from Al-Ittihad for Salah this week, but while there has been the prospect the 31-year-old could become the world’s best-paid player, Klopp said he never questioned his commitment to the Merseyside club.
The Saudi transfer window remains open but Klopp is adamant that Liverpool’s position remains the same and that Salah is not for sale
