Liverpool produce second-half blitz at WolvesBy Carl Markham, Press AssociationDefender Andy Robertson was the unlikely architect of Liverpool’s 3-1 FA Cup victory over Wolves which eased some of the pressure on head coach Arne Slot. After Tuesday’s dreadful Premier League defeat here, the visitors – and Slot in particular – could not afford any more damage and were deserved winners. Seventeen-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha made the most of a rare start with a man-of-the-match performance ahead of Robertson but it was the veteran left-back who produced the game-changing moments. Wolves boss Rob Edwards made six changes, including goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, from Tuesday’s win but the intent to frustrate and capitalise on the break remained the same. Five minutes into the second half, Santiago Bueno stabbed a rare near-post shot wide but soon after Liverpool took the lead.
