WOLVERHAMPTON, United Kingdom: Jurgen Klopp branded the goals Liverpool conceded in a 3-0 defeat to Wolves as “horrible” with the German admitting to being at a loss to explain his side’s disastrous form.
The Reds have taken just one point from their last four Premier League games to all but end any hope of catching the top four for a place in next season’s Champions League.
Klopp’s men trailed 2-0 inside 12 minutes at Molineux as Joel Matip’s own goal and Craig Dawson’s strike on his debut put Wolves on course to climb out of the relegation zone.
Ruben Neves added a third 19 minutes from time after Liverpool had dominated the early stages of the second half without reward. “Conceding early goals is not unfamiliar to us but the way we conceded them today was not acceptable,” said Klopp. “When you see the whole game, throughout the game in moments we played an outstanding game without scoring and a good away game without scoring. “The third goal I don’t count because it was the first time they passed the halfway line in the second half.
