Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Liverpool: Hits and Flops | Premier League 2019-20

#2 Flop: Jonny Castro

Not a good night for the left-back.

Like Andrew Robertson, it was a night to forget for Wolves' Jonny Castro too. Wolves are usually rampant down the flanks but their wing-backs were quite wasteful against Liverpool. As reliable as he is on most days, Castro was wasteful in the final third and was struggling to cope with Mohamed Salah.

The defender played extremely high up the field during the game. Wolves play three at the back and the wing-backs play a vital role in their playing style. Both Castro and Matt Doherty had a bad night, with the latter missing a free header too.

Castro contributed very less both defensively and offensively and was one of the very few Wolves players who did not impress in the game.

#1 Hit: Jordan Henderson

A captain's performance by Jordan Henderson

It has been a huge couple of months from the Liverpool captain. Jordan Henderson has upped his game in such a way that the Reds have barely missed Fabinho. Henderson was the star of the tough win against Wolves as he grabbed a goal and an provided an assist too.

He was elegant in everything he did. Wolves were pressing high up and making life difficult for most Liverpool players but the captain was calm and composed throughout the 90 minutes. Henderson produced another big moment in an increasingly superb season, heading home the opener before setting up Roberto Firmino for the winner only six minutes before full time.

Some vital challenges in midfield, calm presence and marshalled his troops well from the middle of the park against a strong side. Henderson has gotten better and better as the season has gone on and while all the other players take the limelight in most games, it is about time the world recognizes the full worth of the midfielder.
