For the 40th time in a row, Liverpool has remained unbeaten in the Premier League. No fewer than 35 times were won, including the mid-week visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-2).
Only Arsenal ever managed to set a longer series. The legendary team of Dennis Bergkamp remained 49 duels without defeat at the beginning of this century.
Liverpool is now second in this ranking. For a moment the team wavered to visit the Wolves, after Raúl Jiménez had reacted with a powerful header to Jordan Henderson’s opening goal. Nevertheless, the coin fell back in the direction of the upcoming champion just before time.
Sixteen points ahead
Roberto Firmino increased the lead over Manchester City to sixteen points. In the evening, Sadio Mané dropped out in the first half with a hamstring injury.
The team of Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum has been removed from the record series for nine duels. And calculated that the 49th game – if everything goes according to plan – Liverpool will play a visit to his closest attacker from Manchester.
