Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could not hide his delight when told of Liverpool's dramatic 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers during a post-match television interview. The 27-year-old had just helped Everton secure a 2-0 victory over Burnley at Hill Dickinson Stadium when he learned of the result at Molineux.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Dewsbury-Hall was analysing his own performance when cheers erupted from Everton fans in the concourse. Presenter Jules Breach informed him that the noise was due to Wolves scoring a stoppage-time winner through Andre's deflected strike. Grinning, the midfielder responded: "That's even better."
Liverpool had taken the lead through Mohamed Salah's equaliser after Rodrigo Gomes opened the scoring, but Andre's 94th-minute winner inflicted a fifth stoppage-time defeat of the season on Arne Slot's side. The result leaves Liverpool fifth in the Premier League table, having missed the chance to move into the Champions League places.
Slot admitted his frustrations after the match, saying: "My expectations haven't altered throughout the season because I expected more than we are battling for now. It's another setback... There are still nine games to play, but losing points in a match where it's absolutely unnecessary is disappointing."
