Portugal forward Jota died in a car crash in Spain last year.<\/p>\n
That emotional tribute seemed to suck the energy from both teams in a scrappy first half.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were punished for their lethargy in the 78th minute. Tolu Arokodare got away with a nudge on Virgil van Dijk to win the ball before playing a superb pass to Rodrigo Gomes, who held off Ibrahima Konate and guided a clinical finish past Alisson Becker. <\/p>\n
Liverpool finally awoke from their slumber after that shock, grabbing an equaliser in the 83rd minute with a helping hand from Wolves. <\/p>\n
Wolves midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was guilty of a woeful pass that Salah intercepted, racing into the area for a shot that eluded Jose Sa\u2019s weak attempted save. <\/p>\n
Salah has scored just eight goals — five in the league — during a turbulent season.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were still creaky at the back and Andre pounced on Alisson\u2019s poor clearance four minutes to steal the points in stoppage-time. <\/p>\n
Andre\u2019s powerful strike deflected off Liverpool defender Joe Gomez and looped over the wrong-footed Alisson as Wolves boss Rob Edwards sprinted down the touchline in a wild celebration while Slot looked on crestfallen. <\/p>\n
Slot urged his players to solve their late-game meltdowns in time to salvage one of the most disappointing campaigns in Liverpool\u2019s illustrious history. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe hardly conceded a chance, created not so much but more than they did, but the result is again a 2-1 loss,\u201d said Slot, who spent around \u00a3450 million ($A850m) on new signings before this season. <\/p>\n
One of many Reds stars well below their best, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk conceded his team had only themselves to blame.<\/p>\n
Van Dijk was caught out during the build-up to Wolves\u2019 opener and missed a golden opportunity to put Liverpool 2-1 up before Andre\u2019s winner. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s down to ourselves. It was slow, we were predictable, sloppy in possession and wrong decision-making,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t concede chances but if you perform like that then a result like this can be a result of that and that\u2019s a fact. It was disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolves are 11 points from safety with eight games left and relegation remains almost certain despite this memorable victory.<\/p>\n
Everton ended their dismal home form and pushed Burnley closer to relegation with a 2-0 win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n
Buoyed by their 3-2 win at Newcastle last weekend, Everton dispatched second-bottom Burnley with their first win in eight home league matches. <\/p>\n
Former Burnley defender James Tarkowski put Everton in front with a powerful header from James Garner\u2019s 32nd minute free-kick.<\/p>\n
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall doubled Everton\u2019s advantage on the hour taking Iliman Ndiaye\u2019s pass and clipping a composed finish past Martin Dubravka from six yards. <\/p>\n
Everton remain in contention for a European berth, while Burnley are eight points from safety with just nine games left.<\/p>\n
Habib Diarra\u2019s penalty fired Sunderland to a 1-0 victory against Leeds on their first Premier League visit to Elland Road since 2002. <\/p>\n
Bournemouth and Brentford shared a goalless draw at the Vitality Stadium that did little to improve either side\u2019s hopes of qualifying for Europe, with tempers flaring after the fulltime siren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
