Liverpool Echo IconSportFootballLiverpool FCArne Slot reflects on a night to forget for Liverpool as they lost 2-1 at rock-bottom WolvesArne Slot admitted the 2-1 defeat to Wolves was a case of "same old story" for Liverpool as they suffered a huge blow to their Champions League qualification hopes.The Reds fell behind with just 12 minutes left on the clock when substitute Rodrigo Gomes clipped past Alisson Becker before Mohamed Salah evened it up with his first Premier League goal since November 1.However, a seventh stoppage-time concession of the campaign, scored by Andre Trindade, gave the rock-bottom Wolves just their third win of the season. "Recently we are picking up points because we score many times from set-pieces, but what hasn't changed in the last five, six seven games is that we struggle and find it very hard to score from open-play chances that we do create.“Not as much as I would like from all the ball possession we have but enough and far more than the other team.

But the end result is we scored one and they scored two and another one in injury time so it sums up our season again.“We have had far more possession than the other team, we have created more in open play in general than the other team but have struggled to score from open play."Slot added: “Recently we have scored a lot from set-pieces. Again we had a lot of set-pieces but in the first half were very poorly taken.“I don’t think we played a very good first half, the second half was better, still not great but better.

We created more, and the just before injury time we were twice very close from chances to make it 2-1.“Mo Salah was dribbling and had to the left and right two players open but the ball was intercepted by their defender and there was the Virgil van Dijk header, and the one we conceded wasn’t even a chance.“That has happened to us so many times this season. We hardly gave away a chance today, we gave away one chance and conceded two."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
