Mumbai, March 4: Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a stunning 2-1 victory against Liverpool, thanks to a deflected shot from Andre in stoppage time. This win took place at Molineux Stadium, marking another surprising triumph for the team currently at the bottom of the league.
After shocking Aston Villa in their previous match, Wolves continued their impressive form by defeating the reigning champions, Liverpool. This loss means Liverpool missed a chance to break into the top four.
Rodrigo Gomes opened the scoring for Wolves in the 78th minute with a brilliant move. However, Liverpool quickly equalized when Mohamed Salah capitalized on a mistake by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde in the 83rd minute.
As the match approached stoppage time, Liverpool seemed poised for victory. But Andre’s long-range shot, which deflected off a substitute and left goalkeeper Alisson stranded, found its way into the net.
Despite being 11 points behind Nottingham Forest, who sit in 17th place, Wolves remain hopeful. Following the upcoming matches of their rivals, Liverpool could find themselves six points adrift of Manchester United and Villa in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification.
After the match, Virgil van Dijk expressed frustration, stating, “I think it’s our fault. We were slow, careless in possession, and made poor decisions. It’s disappointing. We’ve been scoring from set-pieces, but in the last few games, we struggle to convert open-play chances.”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot commented, “We didn’t create as many chances as I would have liked based on our possession, but we still had more than the opposition. The result reflects our season’s narrative: we scored one goal, and they scored two, including one in extra time.”
