Jurgen Klopp hailed Roberto Firmino's "genius moment" that turned the game in Liverpool's favour in the 2-1 win over Wolves on Thursday.
Klopp said: “We scored a wonderful goal from a set-piece but again, not scoring the second or the third means everything is open and then it gets intense.
“Bobby scored a worldie, it was a super, super, super goal. That we can control the game again and we have the set-pieces and pressing situations and counter-pressing situations, that gives the boys an opportunity to stay in the game.
“It means it's not only hard for us but the opponent as well. I'm really, really pleased. Moments can help us or the genius moment of Bobby Firmino can help us.
“We didn't panic but we weren't completely in the mood I wanted us to be in when we went 1-0 up.
“The development of the game has influence on each individual on the pitch. One sees a chance, sees the space, but others aren't in the same mindset. That was the story of the game.
“So much to improve for us but knowing if we defend really well... Everybody worked their socks off. I'm so proud of the boys. It's incredible.
The 2-1 victory - Liverpool's 11th of the season by a single-goal margin - re-established their 16-point advantage at the top of the Premier League.
The league leaders travel to West Ham next week for their game in hand and could open up a 19-point lead ahead of next Saturday's visit from Southampton at Anfield.
The Reds could be 22 ahead of Manchester City by the time Pep Guardiola's men resume Premier League action away at Tottenham.
Klopp, though, refused to accept that the race has been won, urging his players to continue a run of form that has seen them drop just two points all season after 23 games played.
“It's over when it's over, not before," Klopp said. "So why should we really think about it? Let's carry on. It's difficult enough. We have to find solutions for the different games then we will see.
“We don't go for perfection, we go for a perfect reaction if possible. We fight back in difficult situations in the game, and the boys did it well again.
“I said beforehand it would be a really tough game. Wolves are so different to anything else you face, how Nuno sets it up is really good.
“Traore is pretty much unplayable at the moment. I've said it a couple of times now. He's not only a winger now, he keeps the ball, he holds the ball and sets up goals.
“Each ball you lose to them is 100% a counter-attack, but they didn't have too many chances. They scored a really good goal."

Young shut up, he’s our top scorer for 3 seasons now, give the man some respect. If he’s your brother, would you say this to him? You people keep saying sell him and buy Traore who has played 35 game with 5 goals and 6 assists. You guys are blind and not a Liverpool fan. Go and check the statistics and you will see the big difference.
Sooo true bro u nailed it

stop all these nice comments and talk to Sallah. He has become more selfish than he was before. 2 clear chances to pass the ball to Minomino and Chamberlain, he didn't. He decided to waste it instead

Please Klopp, sell Salah to PSG and buy Traore. I know you can make Traore bigger than Salah. Firmino and Mane will score a lot of goal if we can buy and play Traore. If we sell Salah we can have a lot of money. Who knows may be with that money we will be able to buy both Bruno and Traore.
Your brain crack.

The way I see, Wolves defend well as they were few players close up all window for Salah to shoot... Salah draw defender out and create room for Hendo to shoot... But captain found room for Firmino better chance to score... It work then we won.
