Wolves 2-1 Liverpool: ‘Same old story’ for Arne Slott as Wolves vow to ‘keep fighting’

Molineux has seen as many Premier League wins in the past five days as they have in the past 10 months. But in its history, it could not have witnessed more dramatic events than these.

Make no mistake, Wolves deserved the three points here. At 1-1, they pushed for the winner and were rewarded, albeit with a bit of luck when the ball deflected off Joe Gomez.

“This is Liverpool Football Club, no matter what position you are in, any time you beat them, you have to enjoy the moment,” Edwards said.

“It’s a great football club with a great coach and a lot of great players. So it was a very big night for us.”

The Wolves coach joked afterwards that he was injured when he ran quickly down the touchline after his team’s late winning goal.

“What we are trying to do is improve,” he added. “We’re trying to build some momentum. We know the situation we’re in. I know I lost myself in that moment there. People might think we’re bottom of the league but you’ve seen the energy in that place. You’ve got to enjoy it. We’re trying to turn things around.”

He added, “There is a belief that we are moving in the right direction. Whatever happens until the end of the thirty-eighth match, we will continue to fight.”

With victories over Aston Villa and Liverpool in their last two Premier League matches, Wolves became the first bottom-placed team to defeat two teams in the top five in a single season since West Bromwich in 2017-18, and the first team ever to do so in back-to-back matches.

While Liverpool are fighting for Champions League football, Wolves are fighting against the impossible and are 11 points from safety with eight games remaining.

This result, in all likelihood, will ultimately have no impact on their future in the Premier League, but Rodrigo Gomez, who scored their first goal on Tuesday, maintains his confidence.

“We know we are in a difficult situation,” he told BBC Sport. “It is very difficult but we have to keep believing. If it is possible, we have to keep believing.

“Now we need to work, match by match, and not think that if we win this or that match, we will avoid relegation.” “Game by match, working like this every week, then maybe we’ll see.”

As one Wolves fan told BBC Sport on his way out of Molineux: “It’s crazy to be where we are in the table.”

For the team and the fan base that has endured so much this season, this was a night they won’t quickly forget.

And they will have the opportunity to try to do it again when Liverpool return on Friday in the FA Cup.
