Liverpool’s loss at Wolves was a record-breaking late defeat but why do Arne Slot’s side keep conceding? It isn’t luck

When Andre’s shot deflected off Joe Gomez and over Alisson Becker it was unlucky for Arne Slot’s side. But given that this is a record-breaking fifth winning goal conceded by Liverpool during stoppage time this season, it is no mere coincidence.

Crystal Palace and Chelsea beat them this way - and by the same scoreline - early in the season. Bournemouth won it in the 95th minute in January. Manchester City's penalty did for them last month. Now, bottom club Wolves have joined the list.

"That it happens in extra time might be a coincidence, maybe, although it happens so many times," said Arne Slot. No team has ever lost this many Premier League games so late - and that does not include the stoppage-time equalisers at Fulham and Leeds.
