Liverpool produce second-half blitz at Wolves to reach FA Cup quarter-finals Updated / Friday, 6 Mar 2026 22:12 Liverpool's Andy Robertson opened the scoring with a stunning strike Defender 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. The Scotland captain broke the deadlock with his first goal since September and then crossed for Mohamed Salah to score on this ground for the second time in four days, all within the space of three second-half minutes.

Ngumoha would benefit hugely from having such experience behind him as he continues his rapid development but, with Liverpool potentially looking at options for the left wing, that may be of less importance to the Reds hierarchy. Wolves' Tolu Arokodare (L) battles with Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk The youngster departed in the 69th minute – replaced by summer signing Florian Wirtz who was back from injury – having been a constant problem for Wolves’ right-sided wing-back Jackson Tchatchoua, who at times in the first half doubled up with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde to maintain their block in deeper positions.

Twice in the first minute they picked out Ngumoha, making only his fifth start, as they tried to utilise his pace and for the majority of the half it was he and not Salah who saw the most ball. Ngumoha picked up a loose ball deep in his own half and it was moved left to right through Gakpo and Salah before coming back to the left where Robertson had joined the attack and he let fly from 20 yards to beat Johnstone.
