Your support makes all the difference.Ruben Neves fired Wolves into the fourth round as they dumped Liverpool out of the FA Cup.
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.
But they were denied a replay by John Ruddy’s superb save when he turned Xherdan Shaqiri’s free-kick onto the post, although Wolves were good value for their win against the lacklustre visitors.

FULL-TIME: Wolves 2-1 Liverpool
Premier League leaders Liverpool are out, and Wolves eliminate them just as they did in 2017!
Wolves will be in the hat for the fourth round coming up shortly.
For Liverpool, it's just the Premier League and Champions League left for them and they can have no complaints - their much changed starting XI were lacklustre throughout tonight.
Ruben Neves' wonder goal won it for Wolves.
He says post-match: "Can the Premier League change the ball to mitre?!"
Mitre is the brand of ball used in the FA Cup, and boy does he know how to control it - here's his goal.
Thanks for joining us this evening on The Independent live blog, as Wolves knocked out a second-string Liverpool side to progress through to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
See you next time!
