Mohamed Salah ended his 10-game Premier League goal drought but Liverpool slipped to a 2-1 loss to bottom ‌side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The game played at Molineux on Tuesday proved a blow to to the premiership defending champions’ Champions League qualification hopes.

Liverpool have 48 points from 29 games and are fifth in the table, while Wolves’ recent ⁠improvement has seen them move to 16 points from 30 matches.

Victory for Chelsea at Aston Villa on Wednesday will see champions Liverpool drop to sixth in the table following a ninth defeat of the campaign.

They have not lost 10 league games in a season for a decade.

There is no ‌doubt ⁠Wolves have improved under manager Rob Edwards and they scored late goals through Rodrigo Gomes and Andre either side of a strike by Salah as a dull ⁠game came to life in the final 15 minutes.

Edwards has brought out some fight in Wolves as they ⁠recorded back-to-back wins over top-five teams following their weekend win over Villa, but Liverpool put in ⁠another meek display.

The teams will meet at the same venue on Friday for their FA Cup fifth-round tie.
