It was the first time the Premier League\u2019s bottom club had beaten the reigning champions since Crystal Palace defeated Chelsea in 2017. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The Reds remain fifth but their hopes of qualifying for next season\u2019s Champions League have been hurt by a defeat that means sixth-placed Chelsea will go above them if they beat Aston Villa on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s first defeat in five games in all competitions will raise fresh questions about Slot\u2019s Anfield future.<\/p>\n
\u201cBad result,\u201d Slot said. \u201cWe are losing far too many football games and dropping points.<\/p>\n
\u201cWas it again in extra (added) time that we conceded? The three times we lost in the last 22 games were all in extra time.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was the first of Liverpool\u2019s two trips to Molineux in the space of four days, with an immediate chance for revenge in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday. <\/p>\n
Slot this week said he no longer finds Premier League matches a \u201cjoy to watch\u201d due to the rise in set-piece goals, and Liverpool supporters took no pleasure from this dismal performance. <\/p>\n

Wolves and Liverpool fans joined in a sustained round of applause on 18 minutes in memory of Diogo Jota, who wore that shirt number during his time at Molineux before joining the Reds. <\/p>\n
Portugal forward Jota died in a car crash in Spain last year.<\/p>\n
That emotional tribute seemed to suck the energy from both teams in a scrappy first half.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were punished for their lethargy in the 78th minute. Tolu Arokodare got away with a nudge on Virgil van Dijk to win the ball before playing a superb pass to Rodrigo Gomes, who held off Ibrahima Konate and guided a clinical finish past Alisson Becker. <\/p>\n
Liverpool finally awoke from their slumber after that shock, grabbing an equaliser in the 83rd minute with a helping hand from Wolves. <\/p>\n
Wolves midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was guilty of a woeful pass that Salah intercepted, racing into the area for a shot that eluded Jose Sa\u2019s weak attempted save. <\/p>\n
Salah has scored just eight goals — five in the league — during a turbulent season.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were still creaky at the back and Andre pounced on Alisson\u2019s poor clearance four minutes to steal the points in stoppage-time. <\/p>\n
Andre\u2019s powerful strike deflected off Liverpool defender Joe Gomez and looped over the wrong-footed Alisson as Wolves boss Rob Edwards sprinted down the touchline in a wild celebration while Slot looked on crestfallen. <\/p>\n
Slot urged his players to solve their late-game meltdowns in time to salvage one of the most disappointing campaigns in Liverpool\u2019s illustrious history. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe hardly conceded a chance, created not so much but more than they did, but the result is again a 2-1 loss,\u201d said Slot, who spent around \u00a3450 million ($A850m) on new signings before this season. <\/p>\n
One of many Reds stars well below their best, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk conceded his team had only themselves to blame.<\/p>\n
Van Dijk was caught out during the build-up to Wolves\u2019 opener and missed a golden opportunity to put Liverpool 2-1 up before Andre\u2019s winner. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s down to ourselves. It was slow, we were predictable, sloppy in possession and wrong decision-making,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t concede chances but if you perform like that then a result like this can be a result of that and that\u2019s a fact. It was disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolves are 11 points from safety with eight games left and relegation remains almost certain despite this memorable victory.<\/p>\n
Everton ended their dismal home form and pushed Burnley closer to relegation with a 2-0 win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n
Buoyed by their 3-2 win at Newcastle last weekend, Everton dispatched second-bottom Burnley with their first win in eight home league matches. <\/p>\n
Former Burnley defender James Tarkowski put Everton in front with a powerful header from James Garner\u2019s 32nd minute free-kick.<\/p>\n
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall doubled Everton\u2019s advantage on the hour taking Iliman Ndiaye\u2019s pass and clipping a composed finish past Martin Dubravka from six yards. <\/p>\n
Everton remain in contention for a European berth, while Burnley are eight points from safety with just nine games left.<\/p>\n
Habib Diarra\u2019s penalty fired Sunderland to a 1-0 victory against Leeds on their first Premier League visit to Elland Road since 2002. <\/p>\n
Bournemouth and Brentford shared a goalless draw at the Vitality Stadium that did little to improve either side\u2019s hopes of qualifying for Europe, with tempers flaring after the fulltime siren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool suffered an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at Wolves as Andre\u2019s stoppage-time strike sealed a dramatic victory for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-517661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
