The defender, joined by Craig Dawson at the back for the first time, helped Wolves to a clean sheet and three points against the Reds, which lifted them up to 15th in the Premier League table. Big games against Southampton and Bournemouth await in the coming weeks and Kilman is looking to carry the momentum into those fixtures and build for an improved second half of the season.
On the result being a turning point
“It could be but looking at the games coming up we have some really tough games. We have to be ready for next week at Southampton away. They’re fighting at the bottom but they’re a really good team. It’s a great challenge and we have to go from here.”
On a clean sheet and three points
“It was a brilliant day and what a result. We got the clean sheet as well, which is a great bonus. It’s the Wolves way, we have to defend from the back. We had that resilience last season and now we’re building it again this season. We have to build from this.
“It’s great to get the result and the clean sheet. Liverpool are a great side who have not been in the best form, but they still have the quality players and still have the foundations. It’s great to win 3-0.”
On the perfect game plan
“We started off really well and got the two early goals, which helped us push on and made us cruise into the game. We defended really well in the second half and to top it off with the third goal was brilliant.
“It’s the first time in a while we’ve come into half-time 2-0 up. It was great to have that feeling. The second half we sucked in the pressure, defended really well and got the third goal to finish it off. We stayed compact and when we have a chance to trigger and press, that’s what we did and we executed it well.”

On what Lopetegui is influencing
“I think the work rate with everyone, and the togetherness has improved a lot.”
