Liverpool analysis: One of the most damaging defeats of their season

This was a brilliant opportunity for Liverpool in their pursuit of Champions League qualification and one they ultimately wasted.

Slot's side have lost nine Premier League games this season and this will go down as one of the more damaging defeats, against a Wolves side who have struggled throughout the campaign.

Liverpool were uninspiring in the first half and though they upped the ante after the break, they simply did nowhere near enough to test Sa in the home goal.

For all the talk of how they had improved on set-pieces, they rarely threatened here and were punished for some lazy defending.

Salah ended his Premier League drought but even his goal came from a Wolves mistake. The fact is that Liverpool massively missed the influence of Florian Wirtz, who is expected to return next week.

Nevertheless, Slot's side should never have lost this game and it speaks volumes about their struggles that for the fifth time this season, they conceded a winner after the 90th minute - the most ever by a team in a single campaign.
