London, 04 March (H.S.): In a stunning Premier League 2025-26 upset Tuesday, rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers shocked reigning champions Liverpool 2-1 at Molineux Stadium, denting the visitors' Champions League hopes.Brazilian midfielder André sealed the dramatic win with a long-range injury-time strike in the 94th minute, deflecting off a defender past helpless keeper Alisson Becker. It came after Mohamed Salah's 83rd-minute equalizer—ending his 10-game goal drought—had canceled out Rodrigo Gomes' 78th-minute opener for Wolves.
Both sides pushed aggressively in the dying moments, with André's shot ricocheting off Joe Gomez to wrong-foot Liverpool's defense.Liverpool's Title Defense FaltersThis marked Liverpool's ninth league defeat; a Chelsea or Aston Villa win Wednesday could drop them to sixth. They're now 16 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Wolves, meanwhile, notched back-to-back victories following Friday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa—their first such streak since April 2024. Still 11 points from safety, their late-season form offers faint hope.
