Liverpool keeps domestic hopes alive with 3-1 FA Cup win at Wolves.
Liverpool preserved their chances of salvaging the domestic season by advancing to the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory over hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday.
Against a side that beat them 2-1 on the same ground earlier this month in the Premier League, Liverpool struggled initially but earned a quarter-final ticket in the competition they last won in 2022.
Trailing leaders Arsenal by 19 points and out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round (0-3 home loss to Crystal Palace), the FA Cup represents Liverpool's sole domestic lifeline under Arne Slot, though they remain in the Champions League to face Galatasaray away on Tuesday.
Despite Wolves languishing at the Premier League relegation zone's foot—12 points from safety—Mohamed Salah and company failed to break the deadlock in a goalless first half.

The second half ignited immediately: Andrew Robertson unleashed a long-range screamer assisted by Curtis Jones (51'), then set up Salah's counter-attack tap-in—confirmed post-VAR review—for 2-0 (53').
Jones sealed the win with a curling strike from outside the box (74'), before Hwang Hee-chan's late consolation on the break (90+1).
