The midfielder struck to clinch a 2-1 win at Molineux just after Divock Origi cancelled out Raul Jimenez’s first-half opener.
It was Liverpool’s second straight defeat after their 2-1 loss at Premier League title rivals Manchester City.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made nine changes and gave debuts to three teenagers and saw his shadow side produce a flat display.
