Liverpool Advance to FA Cup Quarter-Finals with 3-1 Victory Over Wolves

Liverpool secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup with a 3-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Friday, March 6, 2026. This victory comes just three days after Wolves stunned Liverpool with a 2-1 league win at the same venue.

Match Highlights

Early second-half goals from Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah quickly set Liverpool in control. Curtis Jones added a third goal to seal the win, despite a late consolation from Hee-chan Hwang for Wolves.

Goals

• Andy Robertson (Liverpool): 51st minute
• Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 53rd minute

Team Lineups and Changes

Wolves manager Rob Edwards made six changes to the team that defeated Liverpool in the Premier League, bringing in Sam Johnstone, Hugo Bueno, Yerson Mosquera, Toti Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, and Tolu Arokodare.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot made four changes to his side, with Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, Andy Robertson, and Rio Ngumoha entering the starting lineup. Florian Wirtz was available on the bench.

Key Performances

Andy Robertson was named Player of the Match for his performance, which included a well-taken goal. Seventeen-year-old Rio Ngumoha also impressed, sparking attacks down the Liverpool left flank and outperforming Cody Gakpo.

According to reports, Ngumoha led Liverpool in shots, shots on target, touches in the opposition box, duels won, and successful dribbles.

Second-Half Blitz

Liverpool dominated the first half with 11 shots, but failed to break the deadlock. The game opened up after the break, with Robertson scoring just after halftime, followed quickly by Salah to give Liverpool a comfortable lead. Jones then extended the advantage with a well-worked goal.

Looking Ahead

Liverpool’s win serves as a confidence boost ahead of their Champions League tie against Galatasaray next week. The Reds have now won seven of their last nine matches. Wolves, meanwhile, return to Premier League action as they continue their fight to avoid relegation.
