WOLVERHAMPTON, England (Interstat) — In a stunning reversal of pregame projections, Wolverhampton rallied to a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in a Premier League match Tuesday at Molineux Stadium, defying overwhelming odds that favored the visitors.

The match, played March 3, 2026, was a tale of two halves defined by a frantic and decisive final quarter-hour. For much of the evening, Liverpool controlled possession but struggled to break down a resolute Wolverhampton defense, with the first significant action being a yellow card shown to Liverpool substitute Ryan Gravenberch in the 22nd minute.

The game burst into life after the 75th minute. Against the run of play, Wolverhampton’s Rodrigo Gomes broke the deadlock in the 78th minute, converting a chance to send the home supporters into a frenzy. The lead was short-lived, however, as Liverpool’s star substitute Mohamed Salah responded just five minutes later, leveling the score at 1-1 in the 83rd minute with an assist from Gravenberch.

Just as the match seemed destined for a draw, Wolverhampton delivered a dramatic winner deep into stoppage time. In the fourth added minute, midfielder André found the net, securing a 2-1 victory for the home side. The goal was assisted by defender Santiago Bueno, who received a yellow card moments earlier in the 90th minute. Wolverhampton’s João Gomes was also booked in the 69th minute.

The result was a significant upset according to pregame analytics. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 2-1 win for Liverpool, and its ELO rating system gave Liverpool an 89.30 percent probability of winning.

With the victory, Wolverhampton begins its Premier League campaign with a win and no losses, while Liverpool starts with a loss and no wins. The records across all competitions for both clubs mirror their league starts following this fixture.

Key performances underpinned the result. Wolverhampton’s Rodrigo Gomes opened the scoring, while André provided the last-gasp winner. Mohamed Salah’s goal off the bench was the lone bright spot for Liverpool. The assists from Wolverhampton’s Santiago Bueno and João Gomes, along with Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch, were crucial in creating the goals.

The match will be recorded as a signature victory for Wolverhampton and a disappointing start for Liverpool in the 2025-26 Premier League season.
