JAKARTA - Wolverhampton Wanderers made a surprise that caused the top team and defending champion Liverpool to fall in the English Premier League match. In the duel at Molineux Stadium, Wednesday, March 4, 2026 early morning WIB, Wolves who occupy the bottom of the standings won 2-1.
A late awakening. When the competition entered the final round, Wolves showed a revival. The team under Rob Edwards managed to conquer the top team for the second time in a row.
Previously in the weekend's match, they won convincingly 2-0 over Aston Villa. The defeat saw Villa lose out on a top-three spot and be overtaken by Manchester United.
However, Villa is still safe in the Champions League zone because Liverpool failed to take over his position. Yes, The Reds actually have the opportunity to displace Villa when visiting Wolves' headquarters.
However, Wolves who are almost certain to be relegated instead gave a stubborn fight. Even the hosts were able to break through Alisson Becker's goal in the last minute in injury time.
The goal from Andre gave Wolves seven points from the last four matches. They also previously held Arsenal 2-2 despite losing 1-0 against Crystal Palace.
The result did not change the position of Wolves who are still at the bottom of the standings. Only Wolves now have 16 points from 30 matches. This makes it difficult for them to survive in the Premier League because they are 11 points behind Nottingham Forest who are ranked 17th or one strip above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Liverpool failed to enter the Champions League zone because they are still in fifth place with 48 points. Three points behind Villa who occupy fourth place.
The match itself was fierce and tight. Liverpool did not seem to expect Wolves to give resistance, making it difficult for them to break the host's goal. Liverpool, who relied on striker Hugo Ekitike as a centre forward, failed to meet expectations.
Likewise, the support from Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szobozslai and Cody Gakpo was less effective in Liverpool's attack. Throughout the first half there was no dangerous attack from Liverpool's front line.
Moreover, the Wolves defense is quite solid and not easily penetrated so that the score is still 0-0 at halftime.
Entering the second half, Liverpool still took the initiative to attack. Only, the efforts of the team coached by Arne Slot did not bear fruit. A good opportunity was obtained by Curtis Jones. But he who came in as a substitute failed to finish the opportunity.
On the other hand, Wolves managed to break the deadlock when Rodrigo Gomes broke Liverpool's goal in the 78th minute. Gomes, who had just entered eight minutes replacing Matheus Mane, welcomed an assist from Tolu Arokodare who defeated Alisson.
The 1-0 lead made Wolves more excited. However, Liverpool gave an equally impressive response. They increased the attack and the Pool's offensive game gave positive results in the 83rd minute.
Salah successfully broke Jose Sa's goal, ending the Egyptian national team captain's goal drought. Yes, Salah had to wait four months or nine matches to score again.
The score changed 1-1, but the match was not over. Liverpool again put pressure. Even captain Virgil van Dijk almost brought Liverpool to a lead. However, the header of the Dutch national team center back could still be stopped by goalkeeper Sa.
When the match entered injury time, both teams played offensively. Wolves showed a performance that would not give up. Finally, Andre managed to break the deadlock in the 90th minute. His shot when receiving an assist from Jackson Tchatchoua hit defender Joe Gomez before sliding into the Liverpool goal. Goal!
Dramatic. The score changed 2-1 when the match was only a few minutes away. There were no additional goals and Wolves again picked up a victory at home.
