The away team stunned Anfield throughout a first half that began with Richard Stearman’s headed opener and concluded with Andreas Weimann’s cool finish at the end of a counter-attack.
Jürgen Klopp’s side halved the deficit through Divock Origi four minutes before the end of the fourth-round tie, but ultimately bowed out of this season’s competition.
The key points…
- Stearman header put Wolves in front after 53 seconds
- Weimann doubled the lead four minutes before break
- Origi’s late strike not enough to prevent elimination
The team news…
Klopp shuffled his options in selecting an XI, meaning only Roberto Firmino and Loris Karius retained their places from the side which started against Southampton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
