Robertson and Salah help Liverpool to redemption over Wolves in FA Cup tie

This time around, Liverpool made no mistake at Molineux and remained on the road to Wembley. Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah scored the goals that eased the pain of Tuesday’s Premier League defeat, and Curtis Jones’s strike completed a night of relative comfort.

Wolves were left to confront the reality of eight remaining top-flight matches before the drop, with Hwang Hee-chan’s goal arriving far too late. Arne Slot, frustrated by the Premier League’s entertainment levels, selected a side that suggested an FA Cup exit would not be countenanced.

“Of course it is the perfect response when you look at the result but every stat is exactly the same as three days ago,” he said, adding that there were “a lot of similarities between this game and three days ago.” Only a last-minute change of heart prevented Robertson from joining Tottenham in January; it proved a lucky escape for the player and the club he continues to serve.
