we haven't even reached the middle of october, so liverpool fans will not need reminding that there is still a long season ahead, but the premier league table makes very pleasant reading for them this evening. liverpool will take an eight—point lead into the international break after manchester city were beaten at home by wolves. the champions couldn't convert their possession into goals despite numerous chances, and wolves caught them on the counter attack twice late on — adama traore with both for the visitors. it was city's first defeat at home in any competititon for 10 months. we were nervous. it was a bad day. we were not at our best. we tried and had chances to score but in general the game was not the way we want to play
