US EditionWhy Virgil Van Dijk Shouted at Liverpool Teammate as Captain Vents Fury During Wolves Loss
Liverpool have conceded five injury-time goals this Premier League season, the most ever in a single campaign, forcing manager Arne Slot to call for defensive improvements.
- Slot said Liverpool's 2-1 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday exposed a recurring late-concession problem that must be fixed to salvage the season.
- Reliance on dead-ball goals has coincided with repeated late concessions, as Liverpool FC has lost five Premier League games to goals after the 90th minute this season.
- Wolves took the lead through Rodrigo Gomes before Mohamed Salah equalised, but Andre's 94th-minute deflected strike beat Alisson Becker to secure victory at Molineux Stadium.
- The loss raised fresh doubts about Champions League qualification and Slot's job security as Liverpool FC remain fifth and could drop to sixth if Chelsea beat Aston Villa on Wednesday with nine league games remaining.
- Liverpool have an FA Cup rematch on Friday, and Slot said `Yeah, which is a good thing and a nice thing because we have something to prove on Friday`, with the club having spent $601 million in summer signings.
