Liverpool suffer shock home defeat by Wolves in FA Cup - Football


LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, handing manager Juergen Klopp a third home defeat in a row. Wolves winger Helder Costa turned in a virtuoso performance with a hand in both his team's first-half goals to leave Anfield stunned. The Championship team, whose last visit to Anfield in the FA Cup was 65 years ago, extended their lead five minutes before halftime with a sublime breakaway after Liverpool lost possession in the Wolves penalty area. Liverpool, fourth in the Premier League, had won only one of their seven games in 2017 and Klopp threw on Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge and Emre Can to try to spark a revival. Later on Saturday, Premier League leaders Chelsea play Brentford, Manchester City visit Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur host fourth-tier Wycombe Wanderers and Arsenal face Southampton.
