"Liverpool arrived in the West Midlands knowing a victory would take them level with Manchester United and Aston Villa in the race for a top-four finish, but they were lacklustre from the first whistle. The Reds had the only two shots on target in the first half, but neither of those - from Hugo Ekitike and Dominik Szoboszlai - had Jose Sa unduly worried in the Wolves goal."
"Wolves hit the front from their first shot of the game in the 78th minute, with Rodrigo Gomes clipping his finish over Alisson after excellent hold-up play from fellow substitute Tolu Arokodare. Liverpool were only behind for five minutes, despite Sa turning Rio Ngumoha's effort off the post, as Salah intercepted a poor pass from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and powered past Wolves' goalkeeper."
"This was the first time in Premier League history that a team inside the relegation zone had scored a winning goal in the 90th minute or later against the reigning champions. And Wolves, having only won one of their first 28 games in the season, delivered this historic upset."
Wolves secured a shocking 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Molineux, with Andre's deflected strike in the 94th minute proving decisive. Liverpool dominated possession and created chances, including a Cody Gakpo effort that hit the woodwork, but failed to capitalize. Rodrigo Gomes gave Wolves the lead in the 78th minute before Mohamed Salah equalized five minutes later. Despite Liverpool appearing more likely to win, Andre's shot ricocheted off Joe Gomez past Alisson in stoppage time. This victory represents a historic achievement for Wolves, as it marks the first time a team in the relegation zone has scored a winning goal in the 90th minute or later against the reigning champions.
