Liverpool stunned by Wolves late show
Andre scored a last-gasp winner as Wolves stunned Liverpool 2-1 and earned back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since April 2025.
The rock-bottom side in the Premier League followed up their win over Aston Villa with all three points in stoppage time courtesy of the Brazilian’s first goal of the season four minutes into added time.
Mohammed Salah scored for the first time in 10 league matches and 122 days to get Liverpool back on terms but it was not enough for Arne Slot’s side who missed the chance to go into fourth.
Fans stood to pay tribute to the late Diogo Jota in memory of his time spent at both clubs in a first half where Wolves limited Liverpool to just half-chances.
The Reds saw their three-match winning run come to a crashing end, plunging their Champions League hopes into doubt, while Wolves continued to show encouraging signs despite relegation looming.
Jota was saluted by both sets of fans for his time spent at the respective clubs, and all four stands stood to pay tribute to him – firstly in the 18th minute, to commemorate his number worn at Molineux, before the Liverpool fans sang his name in the 20th.
The Reds had control but were doing nothing to hurt the relegation-threatened hosts who looked comfortable in their rigid defensive shape.
Liverpool were being limited to efforts from range, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s 30-yard strike dealt with easily by Sa.
Salah skied an effort from outside the box which flew into the Wolves fans behind the goal and despite the relentless pressure, Wolves stunned Liverpool and hit the front with 12 minutes to play.
Tolu Arokodare got the better of Virgil van Dijk from a long and hopeful ball upfield and fed it into the path of Rodrigo Gomes, who expertly dinked over the onrushing Alisson.
Liverpool immediately searched for a way back into the contest as Rio Ngumoha came off the bench and thought he had equalised but his effort was tipped onto the post by Sa.
Liverpool wanted the winner but it was Wolves who left it late to grab the unlikeliest of three points.
Alisson’s long ball went straight to Yerson Mosquera which sent Andre on the front foot and his strike deflected off Joe Gomez and beyond Alisson to snatch all the points, moving them within three of Burnley above them and 11 from a still highly improbably survival.
