Liverpool secured a dramatic late win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. Belgian forward Divock Origi netted an injury-time winner as Jurgen Klopp's side secured all three points at the Molineux Stadium.

Liverpool dominated possession, but failed to break down a resilient Wolves defence. The Reds took 16 shots in the game without any success against Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa. However, it was The Reds super sub Divock Origi who netted the winner in the fourth minute of additional time.

Liverpool fans were undoubtedly over the moon to see their side take all three points. The win was even more significant after league leaders Chelsea suffered a shock defeat at West Ham United. Here are some of the best tweets after Liverpool's thrilling win over Wolverhampton Wanderers:

It was more of a case of the Wolves defence being at the top of their game rather than Liverpool being wasteful. Wolves captain Conor Coady made a heroic block off the line to deny Diogo Jota an easy goal from close range.

It seemed like Liverpool would drop points and not take advantage of Chelsea losing earlier in the day. However, Divock Origi turned and superbly finished off a cross from Mohamed Salah in the dying moments of the game.

The win has taken Liverpool one point ahead of Chelsea in the Premier League standings. The Reds have now amassed 34 points from 15 games so far this season.

Liverpool have been one of the in-form teams in the Premier League this season. The Reds are pushing both Chelsea and Manchester City in a three-way title fight.

As things stand, Liverpool have only suffered one defeat in the Premier League. That came against West Ham United in November. The Reds have also scored the most goals in the league this season. Jurgen Klopp's men have netted 44 goals in their 15 games, nine more than Chelsea.

Liverpool have already secured some memorable results this season. The Reds recorded a 5-0 win over fierce-rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. Liverpool also defeated Arsenal 4-0 and city-rivals Everton 4-1 prior to their win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
