Liverpool continued their unbeaten start to the season as they completed a second-half comeback to beat Wolves 3-1 at Molineux.

The victory means Liverpool now sit third in the Premier League table, having drawn their first game against Chelsea before earning wins over Bournemouth, Newcastle, Aston Villa and now Wolves to leave them just two points behind defending champions Manchester City.

Klopp details Gravenberch plan
New signing Ryan Gravenberch made the briefest of cameo appearances against Wolves as he was handed his Liverpool debut and Klopp has outlined his vision for the Dutchman, who is the fourth midfielder they signed over the summer.
Speaking ahead of the Wolves game, Klopp said: "I think definitely in the future he has the potential to play as a No.6. The only thing about Alexis Mac Allister - he can play the position - is, is he a classical 6 how you would draw it? Probably not. But the position in football has changed over the years.

"He's so skilled, I don't like to talk about the things he is not good at yet. They all have skills and yes they have to improve and he knows that, and he tries but the natural stuff is there and all the other stuff takes time and that is how it is. He is an 8, he can play as a 10, definitely and yes, in time, he can play as a 6. Like Curtis [Jones] could play as a 6, they just have to get used to the different spaces and responsibilities."

Darwin Nunez helped make the difference when he came on for Liverpool against Wolves (Ryan Browne/REX/Shutterstock)Nunez tipped to thrive
Darwin Nunez did not start against Wolves, having been away on international duty with Uruguay, but former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch is expecting big things from him this season after impressive displays against Newcastle and Aston Villa before the break.
"What killed him a bit was coming in the same window as Haaland, City and Liverpool are big rivals and it was, 'who was better?'" Crouch explained. "Haaland got off to an incredible start and Nunez was falling foul of that comparison. This year that's all gone.
"It's a new season, he's scoring goals and people will see the real Darwin Nunez this season. The thing with him is he was scoring goals but there were times where he looked out of sorts. This year he looks full of confidence and if you win games like against Newcastle on your own, the finishes were top class, it's confidence."

Andrew Robertson celebrates scoring for Liverpool (Getty Images)Robertson hails Liverpool comeback
With Virgil van Dijk suspended and Trent Alexander-Arnold injured, Robertson captained Liverpool and led from the front as he scored in what was his 200th appearance for the club.
The Reds made an impressive comeback after going into half-time 1-0 down and when asked what was said during the break, Robertson told TNT Sports: "I can tell you some of it, but probably not all of it. Look, we can come up with all sorts of excuses about players flying halfway around the world and then having the early kick-off but it was just a poor first half.
"They were the better team, they created the better chances and we were making too many mistakes. But in the second half, we came out and changed the formation slightly, and had people pushing higher up the pitch."
