Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp had already complained about the FA Cup rules yesterday. A possible replay, he was not waiting for that with the packed calendar in mind.
However, Klopp was not helped by his goalkeeper Alisson. On the half hour, the lights went out at the Brazilian: Guedes unpacked the late New Year’s gift.
Liverpool did show resilience: Nunez completed a great assist from Alexander-Arnold just before half-time, Salah used a pass from debutant Gakpo via an intermediate station shortly after the break.
Relief at Liverpool, until Hwang put the 2-2 on the board with some bumbling.
The 2-3 was still rejected, but the replay feels like half a victory, especially for Wolverhampton.
