"For the second time in four days, head coach Rob Edwards set off down the touchline in manic celebration. Wolves, as their fans had chorused, are bound for the Championship, but on the way they are bloodying the noses of those with ambitions of Champions League qualification. First Aston Villa and now Liverpool have fallen at Molineux."
"His side are record breakers in the wrong sense, the first team in Premier League history to lose five matches in a season due to 90th-minute goals. The three times we lost in the last 22 games were all three in extra time, Slot said after Wolves, like Bournemouth and Manchester City before them, struck at the death."
"Include the late equalisers Fulham and Leeds got and Liverpool have let nine points slip through their grasp in injury time. It may cost them Champions League football. Liverpool could call their latest setback cruel, when the decider needed a deflection."
Liverpool has established an unfortunate Premier League record by losing five matches this season due to goals conceded in the 90th minute, with manager Arne Slot expressing frustration at the recurring pattern. The team has surrendered nine points in injury time across multiple matches, including losses to Wolves and Aston Villa at Molineux, as well as late equalisers from Fulham and Leeds. These late collapses, particularly one requiring a deflection, have significantly impacted Liverpool's Champions League qualification prospects. Wolves, despite being relegated to the Championship, have contributed to this trend by defeating both Aston Villa and Liverpool with injury-time goals, demonstrating their competitive spirit despite their league position.
