Stoppage time drama unfolded at Molineux as Wolverhampton Wanderers snatched a 2-1 victory over Liverpool, courtesy of Andre’s deflected long shot that looped over Alisson after clipping Jota Gomez. The goal in the fourth minute of added time turned the game on its head and extended Wolves’ remarkable run.
Following their midweek heroics against Aston Villa, Wolves backed it up against the league’s gold standard. Gomes’ 78th-minute strike gave them the lead, but Salah’s opportunistic finish from Bellegarde’s blunder equalized soon after.
Liverpool appeared poised for victory, controlling the ball but lacking punch. Then came the sucker punch—Andre’s effort from afar took a decisive ricochet, silencing the traveling fans and igniting the home crowd.
The defeat leaves Liverpool vulnerable in the top-four chase. Van Dijk lamented, ‘We were off-pace, wasteful with the ball, and decision-making was poor. Set-pieces have bailed us out, but open-play goals are rare.’ Slot reflected, ‘Our possession should’ve yielded more, but they punished us twice. This mirrors our season’s narrative.’
Wolves trail Nottingham Forest by 11 points but showed fight. For the Reds, rivals could pull six points clear post-midweek. A wake-up call in a grueling schedule.
