Liverpool vs Wolves player ratings: Sadio Mane goal proves to be the difference amid VAR controversy

Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table to 13 points after beating Wolves 1-0 on Sunday night.

The hosts remain unbeaten this season and have dropped just two points to date.

Jurgen Klopp’s men took the lead through Sadio Mane after VAR showed that Adam Lallana had not handled the ball for his assist – as referee Anthony Taylor had initially ruled.

The controversial technology was drawn upon moments later in ruling out Pedro Neto’s equaliser for offside.

Although Wolves continued to create chances in the second half, they were ultimately unable to pull themselves level, with Liverpool claiming all three points.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
