Wolves shock Liverpool with a last-minute winner, handing the champions a 2-1 defeat despite Salah's late equalizer.
Last-place Wolverhampton stunned Premier League champion Liverpool with a 2-1 win at Molineux Stadium on Tuesday.
Brazilian midfielder Andre struck a deflected winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time to deliver a blow to Liverpool's hopes of securing Champions League soccer next season.
It sent Wolves fans wild in a thrilling finish to the match.
“It is Liverpool Football Club. It doesn’t matter the position we are in at the moment, whenever you beat them, you have to enjoy them moments," said Wolves manager Rob Edwards, who charged down the touchline in celebration after Andre's strike brought rare joy to a season that looks destined to end in relegation.
A dramatic end to the game saw Mohamed Salah score in the 83rd minute — ending his 10-game league goal drought — to equalise for Liverpool soon after Rodrigo Gomes had put Wolves ahead in the 78th.
As both teams went in search of a winner, Andre's long-range effort deflected off Joe Gomez and left Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson wrong-footed.
