Andre’s stoppage-time winner saw Wolves defeat Liverpool 2-1 as the basement boys beat the reigning champions at Molineux.Rodrigo Gomes came on to score a fine goal on the counter-attack well into the second half and though Mohamed Salah soon brought Liverpool level, the dramatic winner was not scored by Arne Slot’s side but by the team seemingly bound for the Championship.
It was a wild finale to a game that had started slowly, and how Slot will rue his team’s performance. A big win could have lifted Liverpool third. Instead, they stay fifth as Wolves, a team that had won only once all season until Friday, made it two wins in five days.

And Liverpool paid for it on the break when Tolu Arokodare outmuscled Virgil van Dijk.
