FULL TIME
WOLVES 1-3 LIVERPOOL
After two excellent nights in the league, Wolves were a clear second best tonight. Andre's absence was huge, not just for what he brings but for how the reshuffle shackled Joao Gomes. But not enough others stepped up. #WWFC
Bizarre goal from a Liverpool defensive point of view. A long punt from Johnstone out of his hands and Hwang races clear and behind their back four and finishes neatly. 1-3. #WWFC
GOAL. Hwang gets one back for Wolves in the first of 4 added minutes. #WWFC
5 minutes to go. Honest truth is that Wolves just haven't played very well in this second half. They were obviously rocked by those two early goals and never looked like staging a comeback. Shame, after two such memorable nights in the Premier League. #WWFC
On the one replay I've seen it looked like Johnstone could have done better. He gotr down to it but didn't keep it out. But I might be wrong.
Hwang and Rodrigo Gomes on, Arokodare and Toti off. #WWFC
GOAL. Jones wraps it up for Liverpool with a curling shot from the edge of the box. 0-3. #WWFC
First Wolves change. Armstrong on for Angel Gomes. #WWFC
Wolves have shown some great spirit and a fair bit of quality of late but if they can retrieve this one it will top everything. Huge ask now. #WWFC
GOAL. 2-0 Liverpool.
Liverpool have the ball in the net again. Salah from a Robertson cross. Ruled out for offside by the on-field officials but it goes to VAR and the goal stands. Salah was behind the ball when the cross was delivered. #WWFC
Liverpool move the ball down the right, Wolves don't put enough pressure on it, Salah and Jones combine to tee up Robertson just outside the box and he drills a superb left-footed drive across Johnstone and in. #WWFC
GOAL. Robertson gives Liverpool the lead. #WWFC
Second half underway. No changes yet. Wonder when they will come. Rodrigo Gomes, Hwang and Armstrong the obvious options off the Wolves bench but I'd also be tempted by Krejci in a holding midfield role because I think moving Gomes from a 6 to an 8 would make a big difference. #WWFC
HALF-TIME
WOLVES 0-0 LIVERPOOL
Sure Wolves will take that scoreline, given they've generally been stronger in 2nd halves of late. But by the unscientific measure of 'gut feel' it's been more nervy than it was in the first half on Tuesday. Wolves not careful enough in possession. #WWFC
Wolves not looking after the ball well enough so far. Mosquera a particular culprit. That means they're inviting Liverpool pressure more than they did on Tuesday. Still 0-0 though, and no really clear chances. #WWFC
On 18 minutes, the whole stadium joins in with tributes to the late Diogo Jota. 6 huge flags raised in the South Bank. #WWFC
Better spell from Wolves in the last few minutes with Tchatchoua being played in 3 times in dangerous positions on the right. 2 good crosses and one poor one. #WWFC
Liverpool on top in the early stages with Ngumcha getting too much freedom on their left flank. He's just drawn a smart save from Johnstone after Angel Gomes was muscled off the ball in midfield. Wolves clearly missing Andre, as we suspected they would. #WWFC
Underway. It's a midfield diamond for Wolves but it's Joao Gomes, not Angel Gomes, at the base of it in place of the suspended Andre. #WWFC
Kick-off almost here at Molineux in probably the biggest game of this three-game home run. 6 changes for Wolves. Slightly surprised that Toti starts ahead of Krejci but otherwise largely as expected. #WWFC
Jubilant scenes after the final whistle in front of the South Bank. First Edwards does his triple fist pump, the Joao Gomes shoves first Andre and then Rodrigo Gomes over to the fans to do the same. Then Santi Bueno does one before handing his shirt to a young fan. #WWFC
FULL TIME
WOLVES 2-1 LIVERPOOL
Yes, it was a smash-and-grab when you look at the fact Wolves scored twice from four shots, but their organisation and discipline was superb. Two wins in five days. #WWFC
Alisson's poor kick is intercepted, Andre advances, Liverpool back off and his shot takes a massive deflection off Gomez and loops in. #WWFC
GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL. Andre. 2-1 Wolves. #WWFC
That's a horrible error from Sa. Salah is one-on-one with Krejci and takes on a shot early with the outside of his left foot. Sa gets a hand to it and should keep it out but doesn't. #WWFC
GOAL. Salah. 1-1. #WWFC
Long ball forward and Arokodare gets the better of Van Dijk in a scrappy tussle before laying off to Rodrigo Gomes. He then simply beats Konate for directness. First touch takes him away from the defender, second chips a shot over Alisson. Wolves' first shot of the game. #WWFC
GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLL. Rodrigo Gomes. #WWFC
Joe Gomez on for Liverpool to face Joao Gomes and Rodrigo Gomes, which is all the tenuous excuse in need to share this silliness again! @theathleticfc.bsky.social #WWFC
Rodrigo Gomes on for Mane. #WWFC
Triple change for Wolves.
Mosquera, Bellegade and Arokodare on.
Doherty, Angel Gomes and Armstrong off.
