Wolves vs Liverpool: goals from Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk keep Liverpool top
Re-live the live action from the Molineux
Liverpool moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League after Mohamed Salah inspired them to a deserved 2-0 win at Wolves.
The forward scored his 14th goal of the season before setting up Virgil Van Dijk's clincher in the second half at Molineux.
Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten Reds, who have conceded just seven goals in 18 league games this season, will now top the table on Christmas Day regardless of Manchester City's result against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
In eight of the last nine campaigns the team top at Christmas has won the league - except Liverpool in 2013. Re-live the live action below:

Liverpool take the three points but Wolves made it difficult. The visitors were sloppy and made several errors throughout the match but in the end had enough attacking prowess with Salah, Firmino and Keita.
Liverpool top the table at Christmas! Is this year their year?
