Liverpool set unwanted all-time Premier League record after late Wolves defeat on March 3

The 2–1 loss at Molineux was Liverpool’s fifth league defeat this season decided by a goal in the 90th minute or later — the most ever by a team in a single Premier League campaign.

Liverpool’s season-long problem with late goals hit a new low on 3 March 2026, as they were beaten 2–1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers after André struck in the fourth minute of stoppage time at Molineux.

The match followed a familiar script: Rodrigo Gomes put Wolves ahead on 78 minutes, Mohamed Salah equalised five minutes later to end a long league goal drought, but Liverpool conceded again deep into added time when André’s effort took a decisive deflection on its way in.

Beyond the result, the defeat set a historic mark. Liverpool have now lost five Premier League games this season to goals scored in the 90th minute or later, an unwanted all-time competition record for a single campaign, according to Premier League reporting (citing Opta data in coverage across outlets).

In the table picture, the damage is immediate: Reuters reported Liverpool on 48 points from 29 matches and sitting fifth, with the risk of sliding further depending on results around them — while Wolves, despite being bottom-side in the wider narrative, gained a statement win in their survival fight.

For Liverpool, the message is becoming hard to ignore: it’s not only about chances created, but about closing games out — and turning late-game management into points before the run-in becomes unforgiving.
