Wolves stun Liverpool with dramatic stoppage-time winner | OneFootball

Wolves stunned Liverpool with a dramatic stoppage-time winner to claim a 2-1 victory at Molineux and record back-to-back Premier League wins.

For much of the evening, it looked as though the champions would grind out a routine result. Liverpool controlled possession and territory, while Wolves struggled to register a meaningful effort on goal. Yet football can be brutally unforgiving, and the contest turned on its head in the final 15 minutes.

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 78th minute - and it came from Wolves’ first shot of the match. Tolu Arokodare battled his way onto a long pass and slipped the ball into the path of Rodrigo Gomes, who kept his composure to lift a delicate finish beyond Alisson and spark wild celebrations inside Molineux.

Arne Slot's sideresponded swiftly. A misplaced pass across the Wolves back line was seized upon by Mohamed Salah, who strode forward and poked home his first league goal of 2026 to level matters and seemingly rescue a point.

But there was one final twist. Deep into stoppage time, André tried his luck from the edge of the area. His effort took a heavy deflection off Joe Gomez, looping agonisingly over Alisson and into the net to seal a famous victory.

Wolves remain deep in trouble at the foot of the table, still 11 points from safety, but successive wins have at least given their supporters a flicker of belief. Liverpool, meanwhile, were left to rue a lack of cutting edge on a night that may yet prove costly in the race for the top four.
