Premier League Midweek Roundup: Wolves Stun Liverpool With Last-Gasp Winner

The midweek action across English football delivered chaos, upsets, and late-game twists, with the headline moment coming at Molineux Stadium as bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers stunned reigning champions Liverpool in one of the season’s most dramatic finishes.

‎Wolves Deliver a Stunning Blow to Liverpool’s Champions League Ambitions

‎Wolves, entrenched in last place, produced a night to remember with a thrilling 2-1 victory.

‎Brazilian midfielder Andre delivered the decisive moment in the fourth minute of stoppage time, his long-range strike taking a wicked deflection off Joe Gomez and leaving goalkeeper Alisson stranded.

‎The eruption inside Molineux reflected the magnitude of the upset. Manager Rob Edwards sprinted down the touchline in pure joy, later calling the win a moment that any team must cherish when defeating a club like Liverpool, regardless of their own league position.

‎Wolves had initially taken the lead through Rodrigo Gomes in the 78th minute, only for Mohamed Salah to break his 10-game Premier League scoring drought with an 83rd-minute equalizer. But as both sides chased a winner, Andre’s late strike sealed a famous victory and sent Liverpool home to reflect on a ninth league defeat of the season.

‎The result leaves the defending champions at risk of slipping to sixth place if Chelsea defeat Aston Villa on Wednesday. Liverpool is now 16 points behind league leaders Arsenal, a stunning decline after running away with the title just last year.

‎Manager Arne Slot voiced frustration after the match, noting that three of their last defeats have come in stoppage time an alarming trend for a club fighting to keep its place among the European elite.

‎For Wolves, the victory made it back-to-back league wins for the first time this season, building on their 2-0 triumph over Aston Villa just days earlier. Despite being 11 points from safety, Wolves’ recent performances including a 2-2 draw with Arsenal reflect a late-season fight that Edwards believes shows the squad’s character and spirit.

‎Everton Bring New-Stadium Joy to Their Supporters

‎Elsewhere, Everton delivered a rare but much-needed home win, defeating relegation-battling Burnley 2-0 at the impressive Hill Dickinson Stadium.

‎Goals from James Tarkowski and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall secured just their fifth home league victory since moving into the new stadium earlier this season.

‎The win pushes Everton closer to the European places, with Moyes’ side now only one point behind seventh-placed Brentford, who played out a goalless draw against AFC Bournemouth.

‎Tarkowski admitted the team has been far stronger away from home but believes they are still firmly in the race for European qualification with nine games left.

‎Everton’s improved form and renewed confidence give their fans hope for a strong finish.

‎Leeds Slip Again as Sunderland Claim a Hard-Fought Win

‎Leeds United suffered another setback, losing 1-0 to Sunderland at a tense Elland Road. A second-half penalty from Habib Diarra secured the victory and handed Leeds back-to-back defeats.

‎Although Leeds remain six points clear of the relegation zone, their cushion could shrink if 18th-placed West Ham United collects points in their fixture against Fulham.

‎With pressure mounting and form faltering, Leeds must rediscover stability quickly to avoid slipping deeper into trouble.
