Rob Edwards’ men broke the deadlock with a goal from Rodrigo Gomes, assisted by Tolu Arokodare.

The Reds levelled the game with 20 minutes left to play and added time. Liverpool got one back with a goal from Mohammed Salah, ending his streak of 10 games without a goal.

Wolves increased their advantage with a fantastic goal from Andre Gomes late in stoppage time.

The defeat for Arne Slot marks Liverpool’s ninth of the season as they sit fifth in the league standings.
