Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the reaction from Molineux Stadium
Liverpool suffered a Molineux nightmare as Jurgen Klopp’s side were outclassed by Wolves.
Joel Matip’s own goal, Craig Dawson’s debut strike and Ruben Neves’ effort sealed a stunning 3-0 win for the hosts as the shambolic Reds continued to sink.
Liverpool are floundering in 10th after a third straight Premier League away defeat and - aside from a spell after the break - were embarrassed by fired-up Wolves.
Next up they welcome a reinvigorated Everton before a trip to Newcastle serves as a stark reminder of the change in fortunes at Anfield and St James’ Park.
With the Reds already out of title contention, only the most optimistic supporter would back them not to be knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in March.
There is a direction to Wolves which is missing at Liverpool. Julen Lopetegui has been backed with six new recruits in January and it is hard to ignore the sense Molineux is steeled for the survival fight.
They had been plunged back into the relegation zone by Everton’s early win over Arsenal but responded in style, ahead of potential season-defining games with Southampton and Bournemouth.

Cheers from the home fans. Wolves are passing it around the back with ease, each appreciated individually through chants. Liverpool are putting no pressure on the ball and are allowing them to keep possession. Lopetegui has certainly lifted the mood around Molineux.

Liverpool take another shot from distance. This time it comes through Oxlade-Chamberlain, but Kilman gets in the way to head it behind.

IT SHOULD BE FOUR! Traore has been brilliant since coming on. On the counter, he carries the ball the length of the pitch before passing it off to Jimenez who is unmarked on the left of the box. One-on-one with Alisson, his chip goes straight into the hands of the goalkeeper.

Dawson has been a rock at the back on his debut. Clearing a cross behind, he then heads away from Alexander-Arnold's corner.
