Wolves 0 Liverpool 1 LIVE: Harvey Elliott screamer settles FA Cup tie as Reds book fourth round clash with Brighton

That’s all from Molineux

And that’s all for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup for this season.

Julen Lopetegui’s side will feel hard done by given what happened in the first game at Anfield, but they simply didn’t show enough tonight to warrant a place in the fourth round.

Instead, it is cup holders Liverpool that progress, and it will offer them an immediate chance of redemption at the scene of their latest debacle.

The Reds will travel to Brighton in 12 days time to take on the side that dismantled them 3-0 in the Premier League at the weekend.

Jurgen Klopp said his team played some excellent football this evening – they’ll need all that and more when they return to the south coast to face the Seagulls in round four.

Thanks for joining us, and goodnight.

Happy days return for Klopp

Liverpool pressed and fought like a Jurgen Klopp team of old, and afterwards the German mastermind admitted that it felt just like the old days.

I enjoyed that a lot. It is a pretty rare feeling, and it seems ages ago that we had that feeling when winning and playing well. We had to fight hard tonight. We were super passionate in our defending and we played some outstanding football. I had a few man of the matches tonight.

Elliott salutes Liverpool faithful

Matchwinner Harvey Elliott has praised Liverpool fans for sticking by the team during their poor run of form, and hopes that tonight’s win can be the much-needed lift to better times ahead.

It was a good turnaround. The last few results haven’t gone our way, but tonight is a stepping stone in the right direction. This is the perfect way to go into the next game and we’ll be full of confidence. I want to say a big thanks to the fans for sticking by us. We have the best fans in the world.

Match stats from Molineux

It was a night that failed to live up to the entertainment of the first at Anfield, and the pre-match build-up in the BBC studio.

Liverpool got the job done, but ultimately conceded more attempts and more possession to Wolves while only four of the game’s 18 shots were on target.

Full time – Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

The FA Cup holders are into the fourth round after seeing off a late Wolves onslaught of sorts.

The tie was settled by Harvey Elliott’s early thumper as a much-changed Liverpool outfit served up a gritty performance following their shambolic showing at Brighton on Saturday.

However, Reds fans shouldn’t get too excited; tonight’s victory means they have to travel back to the south coast to face the Seagulls in the fourth round.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

90+4. For some inexplicable reason, Wolves opt to play the corner shot, resulting in Podence getting a pass all wrong.

The home support are not impressed.

90+3. A Phillips’ clearance goes only as far as Podence, who sees his return shot deflected away for another corner.

The midfielder takes Elliott’s pass in his stride on the left of the area, but arrows his drive across Sa inches beyond the far post.

89. Harvey Elliott is named the BBC’s Man of the Match by Alan Shearer.

As it stands, the youngster’s early goal is the difference in this third round replay.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

87. The subs combine…

…to no avail.

Nunes finds Cunha, who crosses into the middle for Costa.

The veteran striker does brilliantly to hold up and hold off before cushioning a pass back into the path of Cunha, who swipes well wide.

Big chance for Wolves!

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

85. Ben Doak once again looks a livewire.

It would be no surprise to see the former Celtic starlet play some important cameos this season.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

83. A last throw of the dice for Julen Lopetegui, and what a throw it is.

It’s not just a six, more like three of them.

Football bad boy Diego Costa is given the nod to play the last seven minutes, replacing Raul Jimenez in the Wolves attack.

The striker’s last goal in English football came in the FA Cup final.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

81. Wolves are really started to threaten now with Traore and Ait-Nouri enjoying themselves on their respective flanks.

All of a sudden, the hosts fancy an equaliser.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

80. A little set-to involving Keita and Podence after the Liverpool man petulantly throws the ball away from the Wolves sub.

In an act of frustration, Podence kicks out a leg, leading to Keita going down late and in instalments.

Something and nothing.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

78. “What’s he going to do next?” asks commentator Steve Wilson as Adama Traore charges to the touchline.

It’s the impossible question to answer because the Spaniard himself has no idea.

On this occasion, however, he lifts a superb cross into the middle that has Raul Jimenez on the prowl.

The Mexican striker should score, but somehow Gomez gets in front of him to clear.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool – Liverpool double substitution

75. Two more changes for the Reds that make it five in total.

And as one teenager goes off, another comes on.

Stefan Bajcetic can be very pleased with his night’s work, and he’ll be replaced by 17-year-old Ben Doak.

Also on is Fabinho for Thiago.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

73. Neves takes aim from the set-piece! Just over!

A swerving drive over the wall is straight down the middle, and keeps Kelleher on his toes as it soars inches above the crossbar.

Neves complains to the referee that the goalkeeper got a slight touch on the ball, but when isn’t he moaning?

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool – Phillips yellow card

72. Here come Wolves again!

An incisive run from Cunha ends with Phillips bringing the Brazilian down just outside the penalty area.

It’s a yellow card for the Liverpool centre-back, and a free-kick to the hosts in a very dangerous position.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

71. A raking ball from Neves – his best involvement of the night – finds Cunha on the run, but the substitute is only able to lift a lob into the arms of Kelleher.

There also may have been an offside flag up on the far side, but let’s not worry about that.

Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

69. A moment of mild excitement as Semedo gets to the byline and stands up a peach of a cross into the six-yard box.

Cunha is lurking, but Konate is well placed to power a header clear.

67. And now it’s Liverpool’s turn to make changes, three in fact.
