Liverpool stunned by late heartbreak against Wolves
Liverpool endured a shocking 2-1 loss to Wolves thanks to Andre's injury-time goal which clinched a thrilling win for the Premier Leagues lowest ranked team on Tuesday.
Under Arne Slot Liverpool trailed after Rodrigo Gomes netted late at Molineux.
Mohamed Salah drew them level with his initial strike in 11 league outings since November.
However Andres debut goal for Wolves delivered yet another blow in a tough campaign for the Reds.
This marked the first occasion the leagues bottom side overcame the title holders since Crystal Palace toppled Chelsea back in 2017.
Liverpool have let in 14 goals during the final 15 minutes of second halves with just Newcastle conceding more in that timeframe across the Premier League.
The team sit fifth yet their bid for Champions League football next term suffered from this setback meaning Chelsea in sixth could leapfrog them with a victory over Aston Villa on Wednesday.
This initial loss in five matches across all tournaments prompts new doubts regarding Slots long-term role at Anfield.
It represented Liverpools first of two visits to Molineux within four days offering a quick shot at payback in the FA Cup fifth round come Friday.
Slot recently noted he no longer views Premier League fixtures as a delight to observe owing to increased set-piece tallies and Liverpool fans derived no enjoyment from this lacklustre showing.
Supporters from both Wolves and Liverpool united in a prolonged applause on the 18th minute honouring Diogo Jota who sported that number at Molineux prior to his move to the Reds.
The Portuguese striker Jota perished in a vehicle accident in Spain last year.
Dejected Slot
That poignant homage appeared to drain vitality from each squad during a disjointed opening period.
Liverpool paid the price for their sluggishness on the 78th minute.
Tolu Arokodare escaped sanction for shoving Virgil van Dijk to seize possession then delivered an excellent ball to Rodrigo Gomes who shrugged off Ibrahima Konate and slotted a precise effort beyond Alisson Becker.
Post that jolt Liverpool stirred pushing forward to equalise on the 83rd minute aided by Wolves error.
Wolves playmaker Jean-Ricner Bellegarde botched a simple pass allowing Salah to steal it dash into the box and fire a shot that slipped past Jose Sas feeble dive.
Salah has managed only eight strikes five in league play amid a rocky year.
Defensively Liverpool remained vulnerable and Andre capitalised on Alissons mishandled kick four minutes into added time to nab the spoils.
Andres forceful effort ricocheted off Liverpool backliner Joe Gomez arcing over the stranded Alisson prompting Wolves manager Rob Edwards to dash along the sideline in ecstatic jubilation as Slot stood defeated.
Wolves trail safety by 11 points with eight fixtures remaining and demotion looks inevitable even after this iconic triumph.
Everton snapped their poor run at home and edged Burnley nearer the drop zone via a 2-0 success at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Spurred by their 3-2 triumph at Newcastle the prior weekend Everton saw off the second-from-bottom Clarets securing their debut home league victory in eight attempts.
Ex-Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski opened the scoring with a firm header from James Garners 32nd minute free-kick.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall extended Evertons lead on the hour mark latching onto Iliman Ndiayes delivery and nudging a calm effort wide of Martin Dubravka from close range.
Everton stay in the hunt for European spots whereas Burnley sit eight points adrift of survival with nine matches to come.
Habib Diarras spot-kick propelled Sunderland to a 1-0 win over Leeds in their initial Premier League trip to Elland Road since 2002.
Bournemouth and Brentford battled to a barren stalemate at the Vitality Stadium offering scant boost to either teams continental aspirations.
