Liverpool needed the aid of VAR to re-establish their 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Wolves as a late Chelsea fightback inflicted a 2-1 defeat on Arsenal in Mikel Arteta's first home game in charge.

Manchester City remain 14 points adrift of the runaway league leaders, but closed the gap on second-placed Leicester thanks to second-half goals from Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne to beat Sheffield United 2-0.

Sadio Mane scored the only goal of a controversial clash at Anfield as Liverpool extended their unbeaten run at home in the league to 50 games.

"If it would be easy to win that number of games a lot more teams would have done it," said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

"It is not easy and you have to fight with all you have. Sometimes we have more and sometimes less and the boys do that all the time, so I couldn't be more proud of what they did again."
"For me it is not working. Some people are saying it gets the right decision but we're the players on the pitch and it doesn't feel right to me."

"The second half was nothing to do with tactics, it was all to do with spirit and desire."
