Holders Liverpool were undone by two defensive blunders that allowed Wolves to claim a 2-2 draw and a replay from their FA Cup third-round tie at Anfield on Saturday.
A disjointed Liverpool looked to have recovered from Alisson‘s early gift to Goncalo Guedes to give Wolves the lead when Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah scored either side of half-time.
But more poor defending from Jurgen Klopp’s side allowed substitute Hwang Hee-Chan to give the team19th in the Premier League a replay at Molineux later this month.

Liverpool, featuring a debut for new Dutch forward Cody Gakpo, had started the game sluggishly and were made to pay after 26 minutes.
In a catalogue of errors, Thiago first lost the ball from an Alisson throw out and when the ball then came back to the Liverpool goalkeeper he passed it straight to Guedes who gratefully accepted with a simple finish.
The hosts, seemingly a little shell-shocked from the concession, offered little to suggest an equaliser was forthcoming. But a moment of brilliance saw them go into the half-time interval on level terms.
