LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Alisson gifted Wolves a first-half lead at Anfield after committing a hilarious blunder.
The Reds hosted their Premier League counterparts as they kicked off their FA Cup campaign.
Boss Jurgen Klopp fielded a strong XI, electing NOT to rotate first choice goalkeeper Alisson for regular cup stopper Caoimhin Kelleher.
But after the Brazilian’s mistake, Klopp may wish he had given his No1 the weekend off.
On 26 minutes, Alisson received the ball under little pressure in his own box.
He bafflingly passed it straight to Wolves forward Goncalo Guedes, with the Portuguese international almost not believing his luck.

Regardless he made no mistake, controlling the ball before smacking it into the back of the net.
The error reminded fans of former Reds stopper Loris Karius’ terrible Champions League final gaffe against Real Madrid in 2018.
Karius, 29, rolled the ball straight to Karim Benzema that day, before dropping a Gareth Bale effort from range over the line.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Alisson just went full Karius.”

While a second added: “Loris Karius vibes.”
A third joked: “Goalkeeper of the Year Alisson Becker. Karius proud of him.”
And a fourth quipped: “Alisson got inspired by his idol Karius.”
Alisson wasn’t the first high-profile stopper to drop a clanger this weekend.
David de Gea had a moment to forget while playing for Manchester United against Everton on Friday night.
The Spaniard got his feet in a muddle, gifting Conor Coady a tap in for the Toffees.
After the error, ITV pundit Roy Keane blasted: “A shocking mistake from an international goalkeeper.
“It’s like Carry On football. It looks like he’s had a few drinks.
“It’s like the keeper’s been sent off and an outfield player has gone in goal.”
