Wolves Shock Liverpool with 94th-Minute Winner

Wolves stunned Liverpool with a dramatic 2-1 victory at Molineux, courtesy of Andre's stoppage-time winner. The basement boys, who had won just once all season before Friday, secured back-to-back victories to climb off the foot of the Premier League table. Rodrigo Gomes had given Wolves the lead on the counter-attack before Mohamed Salah equalized, but Andre's deflected shot in the 94th minute sealed the win.

This marks the fifth time this season that Arne Slot's side have conceded a winning goal in the 90th minute or later - a Premier League record for a single campaign. Liverpool's title defense has long since collapsed, and this latest late collapse could cost them Champions League football. The reigning champions, who could have moved up to third with a win, remain fifth and have now lost ground in the race for Europe.

Wolves' victory represents a remarkable turnaround for a team that looked destined for relegation. Manager Vitor Pereira has instilled belief in his squad, with Friday's win over Aston Villa providing momentum. The Portuguese side's ability to punish Liverpool's profligacy and defensive lapses suggests they may yet have the fight to avoid the drop, while Liverpool must address their late-game fragility if they are to salvage their season.
