FA Cup: Liverpool Out As Arsenal, Man United Clash In 4th Round

Premier League leaders, Liverpool are out of the English FA Cup after suffering a shock 1-2 loss in the hands of fellow Premier League team, Wolverhampton Wanderers, in the competition’s third round on Monday.

 

Liverpool, without most of the first team players, were one goal behind Wolves in the first half at the Molineux Stadium after a 38th minute goal by Raul Jimenez.

In the second half, Divock Origi equalised for the visitors in the 51st minute, but four minutes later Ruben Neves slammed in the winner from outside the box.
