FT: Wolves 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool have won their opening three away games in a Premier League season for just the third time after 2018-19 and 2019-20.
Wolves have equalled their longest home losing streak from the beginning of a league season - also three in the 1986-87 fourth tier and 2021-22 Premier League.
German Bundesliga
Bayern Munich played out a 1-1 draw with defending champions Bayer Leverkusen as their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season continued.
Robert Andrich produced a first-time finish, striking the ball crisply into the bottom corner after Granit Xhaka played the ball into his path in the 31st minute.
Eight minutes later, Aleksandar Pavlovic fired a sumptuous 25-yard strike into the top corner to level for Bayern, despite goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky getting a hand to it.
Harry Kane floated a cross into Serge Gnabry who had a golden opportunity to put Bayern in front just two minutes after the break, but he struck the post with an effort before hitting the crossbar from the rebound.
Kane was substituted in the 86th minute after he was caught on the ankle by Amine Adli and looked to be in discomfort.
Alphonso Davies sent a shot wide from the edge of the box and Konrad Laimer fired an effort just past the post as neither side were able to find a winner.
The result ensured Vincent Kompany's Bayern remain top of the Bundesliga with four wins from their opening five matches, with Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen three points behind in third.

Wolves defender Toti Gomes, speaking to Sky Sports: "A tough defeat according to what we did in the game. We started well and we were a bit unlucky suffering the first goal, but we responded immediately in the first half.
"We were not paying attention to some details. We deserved something from this game - at least a point.
"All the details count especially against the big teams. If you do little mistakes they will make a goal and we will suffer."
On the penalty: "Straight after our first goal, but these are the small details. Suffering again from the penalty is tough - we tried to go again. The game is finished and we did everything we could."
On Wolves' form: "It is not easy, but it is a matter of time [until results improve].
"We are not in a good phase, but we have to stick together. We have had tough defeats against big teams but we are going to keep fighting and we have a lot to prove.
"I ask the fans to stick with us as we are going to keep improving."

It should be noted that in those seasons mentioned (19:32 BST) we were relegated each and every time. it feels as though it’s inevitable that we will go down this season. The players will be that demoralised. Thanks for having us, Prem. It was great for the first couple of seasons.

More from Ryan Gravenberch: "Yeah I think we lost a lot of concentration, myself included. We won but we have to learn from what we missed today. We have to get better.
"This season I wanted to show myself again and I am really happy. He put me in the starting 11 and gave me a lot of confidence."

There was a funny moment at the end of their Sky interview where Ibrahima Konate said he thought he should have been man of the match and reluctantly handed the award to Gary Neville's pick - Ryan Gravenberch.
"Thanks Gary," said Gravenberch.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate to Sky Sports: "Wolves were very good today, they started really well and the first half was a little bit tough for us.
"After we scored, we then had a little bit more control of the game. Then they came back and thankfully we got the second. It was a great battle until the end and thankfully we won and got three points."

Today we saw the good bad and ugly of Konate. Great header for the first goal then a complete lack of concentration for the equaliser and then a silly challenge earning him a yellow card.

There needs to be more talk about Gravenberch, it is unbelievable how Slot has transformed his role at Liverpool. He looks like he has been doing this role for 10yrs. Outstanding so far this season.

This is Wolves' joint worst start to a season after six games. They also had one point in the 1926-27 second tier, 1964-65 top flight and 2003-04 Premier League.

It hasn't been an exceptional performance today. I think it has been a professional one.
It is the type of performance that if you are going to go and challenge for the title you have to win these types of games.

Ibrahima Konate hands his shirt over to a kid holding a sign. Presumably a sign that said something like Konate, I love you, can I have your shirt.

Wolves captain Mario Lemina looks distraught out there. He's pulled his shirt over his face as a few team-mates come over to check on him.
FT: Wolves 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool have five wins from six games and Wolves have five defeats from six games. Good symmetry. Well not good for Wolves.

I think it has been really professional from Liverpool since the second goal.
They have made it really difficult for Wolves.

Wolves have lost more Premier League games against Liverpool than they have vs any other opponent (16). They’ve lost 14 of their last 15 against the Reds in the league, with the exception being a 3-0 home win in February 2023.
Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in 65% of their Premier League games against Wolves (13/20), the second-highest rate of any side to have faced another 20+ times in the competition, after Chelsea against Middlesbrough (67% - 20/30).
Wolves remain without a league win so far this season (D1 L4) – only in 2003-04 (first seven) and 2019-20 (first six) have they gone longer without victory from the start of a Premier League campaign.
Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games (L1), keeping a clean sheet in each victory. The Reds had conceded in each of their previous 10 games before this run (16 goals conceded in total).
No current Premier League side is on a longer run without a clean sheet than Wolves, who have conceded in each of their last 17 top-flight matches (same as Southampton). It’s Wolves’ longest run without a shutout in the competition since a run of 30 in 2011-12.
Wolves have lost their last two Premier League games despite having led at half-time in each (1-2 v Newcastle, 1-3 v Aston Villa). No team in Premier League history has lost three consecutive matches having been ahead at the break each time.
Liverpool have conceded the fewest goals of any Premier League side so far this season (1), while no team has shipped more than Wolves (14). Indeed, Wolves’ 14 goals conceded is their most after five games of any league season since 1985-86 (14 in third tier), and most in the top-flight since 1970-71 (14).
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assist against Bournemouth last time out was his 59th in the Premier League, moving him one ahead of Steve McManaman as the outright third most for Liverpool in the competition. It also moved him level with teammate Andrew Robertson for most assists by a defender in the competition’s history.
Since the start of last season, Matheus Cunha has been involved in more Premier League goals for Wolves than any other player (21 – 14 goals, 7 assists). Eight of his last 13 goals for the club have either put them ahead (2) or drawn them level (6) in the match.
Liverpool’s Luis Díaz has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League appearances, scoring five and assisting one. He’s scored a brace in two of his last three for the Reds, having netted multiple goals in just one of his first 69 Premier League games.
