Liverpool arrived in the West Midlands aiming for a win to match Manchester United and Aston Villa in the top-four race, but they struggled from the start.
Although the Reds had the only two shots on target in the first half, neither challenged Wolves’ goalkeeper Jose Sa significantly.
Arne Slot’s team nearly scored early in the second half from a corner by Mohamed Salah, but Cody Gakpo’s flick hit the crossbar, and Milos Kerkez couldn’t follow up.
Wolves took the lead in the 78th minute, with Rodrigo Gomes chipping the ball over Alisson after excellent hold-up play by substitute Tolu Arokodare.
Liverpool quickly responded, leveling just five minutes later when Salah intercepted a poor pass from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and powered past Sa.
Despite chances for Virgil van Dijk, who missed a great headed opportunity, Wolves struck again in injury time, as Andre’s shot deflected off a defender, leaving Alisson without a chance.
