Liverpool have got back to winning ways, with a 2-1 win against Wolves in the Premier League.
Luis Diaz’s goal drought came to an end, putting Arne Slot’s side in front early on after the ball rebounded off him into the Wolves net.
The Columbian would again be at the heart of Liverpool’s second, winning a penalty which Mohamed Salah would eventually convert.
Diaz earned praise from Liverpool fans for his performance but Dimitar Berbatov has been keen to highlight another Reds display.

Dimitar Berbatov praises Mohamed Salah’s performance against Wolves
Salah made history in the Merseyside derby and the 32-year-old would continue that fine form versus Wolves grabbing his 23rd Premier League goal of the season.
The Egyptian’s goal would come from the spot, calmly dispatching it past Jose Sa – something Berbatov has since honed in on.
Speaking to Premier League, the former Man United striker said:
“We didn’t speak about Mo Salah at all before the game, but he’s the constant in the team. Goals, assists, good performances – and he takes the penalty very well. His body language is really good.”
Salah equals Wayne Rooney’s Premier League record
Salah’s penalty against Wolves not only played a key role in Liverpool’s win but it also made history in the process.
The 32-year-old’s goal means he is now equal with Wayne Rooney in terms of the most goals scored at a single stadium in Premier League history.
Now just 15 goals away from record holder Thierry Henry, many will expect Salah to leapfrog the Arsenal legend if he remains at Anfield past this season.
