Liverpool suffered a painful 2-1 defeat at Wolves on Tuesday, with Andre’s stoppage-time goal sealing a dramatic victory for the Premier League’s lowest team.

Arne Slot’s side went behind to Rodrigo Gomes’ goal in the closing stages at Molineux.

Mohamed Salah equalised for Liverpool with his first goal in 11 Premier League games, dating back to November.

But Andre’s first goal for Wolves handed Liverpool yet another humiliating defeat in a difficult season. It was the Premier League’s bottom club’s first victory over the defending champions since Crystal Palace overcame Chelsea in 2017.

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.

Liverpool’s first defeat in five games in all competitions will raise fresh questions about Slot’s Anfield future.
