We played really well from the beginning, but maybe in the second half we showed we were a side who wanted to win the game.Unfortunately, we conceded the two goals, I think from the only two chances they had, because I cant remember another chance for Liverpool, to be honest.But this is football. When you play against these kinds of teams with that quality, you know you cant give them space, and they had space twice and scored both times.Alisson denied Adama Traore and Jimenez after being beaten by the latters second-half equaliser.Wolves dominated long spells of the second half only for Firmino to strike six minutes from time.Neves added: The fans saw that we gave everything to win this game. Against a team like Liverpool, its not easy to play, but we played really well.But against these teams, the smallest details make the difference.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
