Wolverhampton Wanderers pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory over Liverpool as André’s stoppage-time strike sealed a famous Premier League win at Molineux on Tuesday night.
The Brazilian midfielder struck in the 90+4th minute, his effort taking a decisive deflection off Joe Gomez before looping past Alisson to hand Wolves back-to-back league victories for the first time since April 2024.
Late Drama Sinks the Reds
After a cagey first half, Wolves stunned the visitors in the 78th minute when Rodrigo Gomes latched onto Tolu Arokodare’s pass and coolly lifted the ball over the advancing Alisson to open the scoring with the hosts’ first shot of the match.
Liverpool responded swiftly. Mohamed Salah, ending a 10-match league goal drought stretching 122 days, capitalised on a defensive lapse to fire home the equaliser in the 83rd minute and restore parity.
Arne Slot’s side pushed for a winner as their Champions League hopes hung in the balance, but it was Wolves who had the final say. A misplaced long ball from Alisson allowed Yerson Mosquera to regain possession, setting André free to unleash a strike that deflected cruelly into the net, sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.
Tribute to Diogo Jota
The match also carried an emotional undertone, with supporters from both clubs paying tribute to Diogo Jota for his time at Wolves and Liverpool. Fans rose in the 18th and 20th minutes to honour the Portuguese forward, creating a poignant atmosphere inside Molineux.
Major Blow for Liverpool
The defeat ends Liverpool’s three-match winning run and dents their push for a top-four finish. Despite dominating possession and creating several half-chances — including Curtis Jones striking the crossbar from close range — the Reds lacked cutting edge in crucial moments.
For Wolves, the victory offers renewed belief in their fight against relegation. Though still near the foot of the table, successive positive results have narrowed the gap to safety and injected fresh momentum into their campaign.
In a night of high drama and emotion, it was Wolves who roared the loudest, leaving Liverpool stunned by a deflected dagger deep into stoppage time.
