Wolves snatched a dramatic 94th-minute winner against Liverpool at Molineux, deepening the woes of Arne Slot's side. André's deflected strike secured a 2-1 victory for the Premier League's bottom club, who had waited six months for their first league win before securing a second in five days. The result leaves Liverpool reeling after a fifth stoppage-time defeat this season.
Rob Edwards, the Wolves head coach, was once again celebrating a last-gasp triumph. 'It's not great for my heart, but I could get used to it,' he said, having pulled his calf celebrating the winner against Aston Villa last Friday. This time, André's shot pinballed off Joe Gomez to beat Alisson, prompting Edwards to boot a ball off a pitch-side cone in delight.
The winner stemmed from Alisson's poor clearance, which Jackson Tchatchoua headed back into play. André collected the ball 35 yards out and unleashed a shot that deflected off Gomez, leaving Virgil van Dijk and the Liverpool defence helpless. Wolves had earlier taken the lead through Rodrigo Gomes's clinical finish, capitalising on a well-worked attack that exposed Van Dijk.
Liverpool had laboured throughout, managing only two shots on goal in the first half. Mohamed Salah, who had been anonymous for much of the game, appeared to have rescued a point with an inventive finish in the 88th minute. However, Wolves responded immediately, with André's winner sealing a memorable victory.
The defeat piles pressure on Slot, whose side have been unconvincing in recent weeks. Liverpool now face a quick return to Molineux for an FA Cup fifth-round tie on Friday, a prospect that will give Edwards and his players further cause for optimism.
