Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers after conceding a 94th-minute winner, marking their ninth Premier League loss of the season. Wolves midfielder Andre scored the decisive goal with a deflected strike at Molineux Stadium, continuing Liverpool's troubling pattern of late-game collapses. Manager Arne Slot described it as the "same old story" after his team's fifth defeat from goals after the 90th minute this season.

Slot expressed frustration over Liverpool's inability to convert possession and set-piece opportunities into open-play goals. "We have had far more possession than the other team, we have created more in open play in general than the other team, but have struggled to score from open play," he said. The Reds dominated the second half but failed to capitalize on multiple chances, including a near-miss from Mo Salah and a Virgil van Dijk header.

Liverpool's latest setback leaves them in fifth place, though they could drop to sixth depending on Chelsea's result against Aston Villa. With nine games remaining, Slot acknowledged the defeat as another blow to their Champions League qualification hopes but remained defiant. "If we play this game in this fashion 10 times we don't lose 10 times," he stated, while crediting Wolves for their relentless effort throughout the match.
