Ibrahima Konate struck in first-half stoppage time to ensure that Liverpool went in at the interval with a 1-0 lead over Wolves, but Dominik Szoboszlai must be wondering how it wasn’t he who broke the deadlock a few minutes earlier.
With 40 minutes on the clock and both teams seeking a breakthrough at Molineux, Andy Robertson picked ou the Hungary midfielder with a brilliantly inviting cross, and the 23-year-old managed to get on the end of it at the edge of the six-yard box.

However, his close-range shot was repelled by Sam Johnstone, who to his credit did brilliantly to react and maintain parity for a few minutes more.
It was a fine save by the Wolves goalkeeper, but a player of Szoboszlai’s quality should still be making no mistake when presented with such a glorious chance to score. Hopefully he’ll capitalise fully when next presented with a smiliar opportunity!
