Liverpool ease to victory

Liverpool eased to a 3-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux to move into fifth place in the Premier League.

Craig Bellamy ran riot for the Reds as he proved to be a constant threat all evening. The Welshman was involved in all three of Liverpool's goals, including getting on the scoresheet himself.

The hosts rarely threatened Jose Reina's goal as they continue to languish near the bottom of the Premier League, without a win in nine.


Liverpool were the first to threaten and almost went ahead after two minutes. Andy Carroll got a touch onto a cross from Bellamy and flicked it on to Dirk Kuyt inside the six yard box.

But his control let him down and his eventual shot hit the outside of a post.

Wolves threatened for the first time when Michael Kightly played in Dave Edwards but he failed to make a full contact on his shot on the turn and Reina was able to save.

Charlie Adam became the first player to be yellow carded after 13 minutes for chopping down Matt Jarvis in full flight.

Wayne Hennessey was relieved when Bellamy poked the ball past the post after getting in behind the Wolves defence.

Bellamy looked full of purpose and forced Hennessey to save low to his right with a low, dipping drive.

Hennessey made a fine save to keep out a Daniel Agger header with his right foot from an inswinging Bellamy corner.

Then Adam screwed a shot wide after being allowed to advance unmarked to the edge of the Wolves box.

Bellamy was yellow carded after 27 minutes for slicing down Steven Fletcher on the touchline when in full flight.

Wolves were creating chances of their own and Fletcher was only just too high with a header from a Kightly corner.

Hennessey again distinguished himself with a fine save away to his right to deal with Bellamy's curling 25 yard free-kick.

Bellamy was a constant threat and was again denied by Hennessey with a low save at his near post.

Wolves retaliated and Kightly was inches wide with a low 20-yard effort after linking up well with Fletcher.

Hennessey showed great awareness in racing 20 yards out of his goal to clear from the feet of Kuyt after he had been found in space by Carroll.
