Liverpool suffered a bruising 2-1 defeat to Wolves. <\/p>\n
Liverpool fans all took aim at the same player following their crushing defeat to Wolves.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> resumed their Premier League<\/a> campaign on Tuesday following their 5-2 victory over West Ham United last Saturday.<\/p>\n The Reds played before the likes of Manchester United, Aston Villa and Chelsea as they look to secure a top four finish to qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n But Arne Slot<\/a>‘s side failed to close the gap on their rivals following their bruising 2-1 defeat at Molineux.<\/p>\n Wolves<\/a> opened the scoring in the second-half after Rodrigo Gomes raced onto Tolu Arokodare’s pass.<\/p>\n Gomes squeezed his shot past Alisson despite Ibrahima Konate’s efforts.<\/p>\n Mohamed Salah drew level just five minutes later, but the visitors succumbed to the hosts’ late pressure.<\/p>\n In the 94th minute, Andre’s deflected strike secured a dramatic victory for Wolves.<\/p>\n Liverpool’s performance against Wolves angered their fanbase as supporters singled out Virgil van Dijk<\/a> for his involvement in Gomes’ goal.<\/p>\n He was easily beaten in an aerial duel against Arokodare, who brushed off the towering Dutch defender.<\/p>\n Van Dijk protested the decision but a foul wasn’t given as Wolves went onto score.<\/p>\n His role in Wolves’ opening goal didn’t go down well among Liverpool fans online.<\/p>\n One X user wrote: “For a guy who wins most his aerial duels, Van Dijk gets beaten way too easily here in the air.”<\/p>\n A second said: “Really poor from Van Dijk and Konate. Pathetically too easy.”<\/p>\n A third commented: “Virgil Van Disney at it again.”<\/p>\n Liverpool stay on 48 points following their 2-1 defeat.<\/p>\n They will drop to sixth if Chelsea beat Aston Villa on Wednesday.<\/p>\n As it happens, Liverpool return to Molineux on Friday for their FA Cup fifth round tie before resuming their Champions League campaign against Galatasaray on March 10.<\/p>\n Slot’s team return to league action on March 15 when they host Tottenham.<\/p>\n Featured Image Credit: Getty<\/p>\n Topics:\u00a0Fan Reactions<\/a>, Liverpool<\/a>, Virgil Van Dijk<\/a>, Football<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated 22:46 3 Mar 2026 GMTPublished 22:29 3 Mar 2026 GMT Liverpool suffered a bruising 2-1 defeat to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[3051,218,708,101,56,54,55,2225],"class_list":["post-456530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-fan-reactions","tag-football","tag-liverpool","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-virgil-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Andre](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0YTkwZDA1YWQ0MWE1NGE3MS9ibHQ1MDYwMjE3.webp\"\/)
