Roberto Firmino's late winner took the smiles off the face of Wolverhampton Wanderers after slotting in a late winner during Thursday night's PL clash.

The Reds secured all 3 points by winning the match 2-1.

Club captain, Jordan Henderson, put the Reds ahead with a superb header in the 8th minute but Wolves' Raul Jimenez ensure Liverpool wouldn't have an easy win after his 51st minute equaliser.

The Molineux Stadium went silent later on when Firmino slotted in the winner in the 84th minute to move Liverpool a step closer to their first-ever Premier League title.

The Reds are now 16 points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand and 33 points clear of inconsistent Manchester United.
