WOLVERHAMPTON: Wolverhampton Wanderers threatened with relegation humiliated Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool on Saturday with a 3-0 win over the failed Reds, who are yet to win in the premier league This year.
Wolves steamed through Liverpool’s shaky defense from the start, missing two good chances before one Hwang Hee Chan the cutback entered Joel Matip’s heel for an own goal in the 5th minute.
Minutes later, Wolves debutant Craig Dawson struck in the second without a mark from close range after the ball bounced off Cody Gakpo in another sloppy period of visitors defence.
A fiery Liverpool started the second half well, but Ruben Neves effectively ended the game in the 71st minute, controlling and then pushing the ball away at the end of a scintillating counterattack from the home side.
The defeat left Liverpool 10th on 29 points after a terrible start to 2023 in which they won just one of seven matches – against Wolves in the FA Cup – in all competitions.
After coming close to a historic quadruple last season, where they won two domestic cups and were runners-up in the Champions League and Premier League, Klopp’s side, injured and lacking in confidence, are now just the shadow of itself.
The result was Liverpool’s third successive league defeat. That eased Wolves fears of a Championship drop, lifting them to 15th on 20 points, two points ahead of the bottom three.
