Liverpool<\/a> sealed an amazing 2019 with a solid home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a>. Sadio Mane scored the only goal in a game marred by VAR controversy, but despite those issues, Liverpool put on another excellent home performance to seal a tremendous year.<\/p>\n

Sadio Mane Helps Liverpool Edge Out Wolves<\/h2>\n

Formation Tweak Worked a Treat<\/h3>\n

Sadio Mane\u2019s goal in the first half was enough for Liverpool to secure another victory, meaning only Manchester United<\/a> have taken points off the Reds this season. Jurgen Klopp\u2019s tweak in tactics worked a treat, especially in a pulsating first half.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah was put through the middle, with Roberto Firmino playing just behind him. Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana completed a three behind Salah. The front four caused a much-changed Wolves team all sorts of problems. The pace in behind stretched the Wolves back three on several occasions. A mix of poor finishing and excellent goalkeeping from Rui Patricio kept the scoreline down, especially in the first half. Wolves will feel hard done by considering they had a controversial goal ruled out by VAR, but they gave Liverpool a stern test. As far as Liverpool are concerned, though, it’s another win on the board as they take a further step to a first league title since 1990.<\/p>\n

Lallana has become somewhat of a bit-part player, but he impressed in Liverpool\u2019s only change from their win at Leicester City<\/a>. The English midfielder is expected to leave at the end of the season<\/a>, but he is determined to bring continued success. He put in a real shift for Liverpool and enjoyed his afternoon against a rarely trialled Wolves right-hand side.<\/p>\n

Sadio Mane Caps Perfect Year for Liverpool<\/h3>\n

Liverpool crowned their wonderful year in style in front of an atmospheric Anfield which partied throughout the game. It’s been a year to remember for Jurgen Klopp, who finally secured silverware with the Reds. They are ready to take 2020 by storm and maintain their sensational form in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
