Just two days after their Premier League defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool delivered the perfect response a commanding 3-1 victory over the same opponents to book their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals. This time, Arne Slot’s side looked sharper, hungrier and far more decisive, with captain Andy Robertson producing a standout performance that completely changed the complexion of the match.
After a goalless first half in the fifth‑round clash, it was Robertson who broke the deadlock in the 51st minute. Picking up the ball outside the penalty area, the Scottish full-back drilled a low, powerful strike into the bottom corner to give Liverpool the lead his second goal of the season. Barely two minutes later, he turned provider, delivering a pinpoint cross that Mohamed Salah guided home to double the advantage.
Liverpool tightened their grip on the contest in the 74th minute when Curtis Jones added a third, capping off a dominant second-half display. Wolves managed a consolation goal deep into stoppage time through Hwang Hee‑chan, but it did little to dent Liverpool’s momentum on a night when their response to recent disappointment was emphatic.
With Robertson leading by example, Liverpool’s FA Cup campaign is very much alive and their quarter-final berth well deserved.
