Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has apologized to the team management and fans and took responsibility for a shameful defeat which led to the eviction of his side in this season’s FA cup.
I am responsible, I’m sorry Klopp said.
Championship side Wolves held on to stun Liverpool and reach the FA Cup fifth round with a deserved victory at Anfield.
Richard Stearman put the visitors ahead after only 53 seconds, left unmarked to head in Helder Costa’s free-kick.
Costa then set up Andreas Weimann to round Liverpool keeper Loris Karius and double Wolves’ lead before the break.
Divock Origi scored late on to set up a frantic finale but a largely subdued Liverpool failed to find an equaliser.
The result is the second defeat in a cup competition in four days for Jurgen Klopp’s side after they lost to Southampton in the EFL Cup semi-finals on Wednesday and a third home defeat in a week.
Wolves’ second straight victory over Premier League opposition in the FA Cup sees them reach the fifth round for the first time since 2008.
Liverpool have now won just one game in eight in January, with the Reds reliving recent mistakes as they failed to break down an organised team while also showing crippling defensive frailty.
