Both decisions were correct according to the Laws Of The game.
For Salah's goal the defender deliberately headed the ball as a result of which a new "phase of play" started meaning Salah wasn't offside because the ball had been played to him by the defender. It is an utterly ridiculous rule but that's how referees have been instructed to interpret the rule.
For the second one, the Wolves player may have been inches offside. It's not possible to tell from the camera angle. The linesman flagged believing he was offside. He may have been onside but it was very very close and even if the linesman was wrong it was by no means a terrible decision from the linesman. VAR didn't have an angle from which to use their technology so VAR didn't get involved. So the lino's decision stands. The only issue here is that I can't understand how VAR didn't have an angle to use. That's poor. But that's not the officials' fault.
So both decisions were correct based on the tech available and based on the laws of the game.

Salah was onside because the defender deliberately played the ball. But he was in an offside position when the original ball was played. He gained an obvious advantage. The defender had to play the ball because he was behind him. If that is the rule, then it is bollocks.
The third Wolves goal was disallowed because the corner taker was allegedly offside. But only the linesman saw this. And the linesman was not in line with the last defender. And there were no other camera angles to prove otherwise. In a world class stadium. In 2023.
