Overview
- Liverpool beat Wolves 3-1 at Molineux to advance, with Andy Robertson opening the scoring before setting up Mohamed Salah, and Curtis Jones adding a third; Hwang Hee-chan netted in stoppage time.
- VAR overturned an initial offside flag to award Salah’s goal shortly after Robertson’s strike, sealing control early in the second half.
- Seventeen-year-old Rio Ngumoha started and was widely singled out as Liverpool’s standout performer, with Slot calling him “special” in post-match remarks.
- The win eased scrutiny following Liverpool’s league defeat at Wolves three days earlier, with coverage noting a difficult domestic campaign that leaves the FA Cup and Champions League as prime trophy routes.
- Football Insider reported that Liverpool could consider loan offers for Ngumoha next season and are eyeing a winger, while Liverpool now await Monday’s quarter-final draw and travel to Galatasaray on Tuesday in the Champions League last 16.
