Liverpool beats Wolves, keeps alive FA Cup title defence

Liverpool stored alive its FA Cup title defence Tuesday and earned a direct probability to avenge certainly one of its most humiliating Premier League losses.

A 1-0 win at Wolverhampton in a third-round replay arrange a visit within the final 32 to Brighton, which routed Liverpool 3-0 on Saturday in a defeat that Reds supervisor Jurgen Klopp ranked because the worst in his 22-year teaching profession.

Harvey Elliott scored the winner within the thirteenth minute, working from inside his personal half and unleashing a shot from 30 metres that sailed over Wolves goalkeeper José Sá and into the center of the online.

Klopp needed his group to get “back to basics” after the humbling loss at Brighton three days earlier and fielded a weakened lineup, leaving out stars like Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker and Andrew Robertson.

Liverpool was largely untroubled at Molineux as Wolves grew to become the ninth Premier League group to get eradicated. Everton, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa have been knocked out of their first match within the well-known previous competitors this season.

The FA Cup doubtless represents Liverpool’s solely probability of a home trophy this season, with Klopp’s group having exited the League Cup and plunged to ninth place within the league — 19 factors off chief Arsenal.
