"Liverpool suffered an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at Wolves as Andre's stoppage-time strike sealed a dramatic victory for the Premier League's bottom club on Tuesday. Arne Slot's side fell behind to Rodrigo Gomes' strike in the closing stages at Molineux. Mohamed Salah hauled Liverpool level with his first goal in 11 top-flight games dating back to November."
"Liverpool have conceded 14 goals in the last 15 minutes of the second half, with only Newcastle shipping more in the same period in the Premier League. The Reds remain fifth but their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League have been hurt by a defeat that means sixth-placed Chelsea will go above them if they beat Aston Villa on Wednesday."
"It was the first time the Premier League's bottom club had beaten the reigning champions since Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea in 2017. Liverpool's first defeat in five games in all competitions will raise fresh questions about Slot's Anfield future."
Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wolves, the Premier League's bottom club, in a dramatic match at Molineux. Rodrigo Gomes gave Wolves the lead late in the game, but Mohamed Salah equalized for Liverpool with his first goal in 11 top-flight matches. Andre then scored the winning goal in stoppage time. This marked the first time the bottom club had beaten the reigning champions since Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea in 2017. Liverpool's defensive vulnerabilities were evident, having conceded 14 goals in the last 15 minutes of second halves across their last 15 games. The defeat leaves Liverpool fifth and threatens their Champions League qualification hopes, with sixth-placed Chelsea able to overtake them. Manager Arne Slot's future at Anfield faces scrutiny following this loss.
