Reuters: Liverpool suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, handing manager Juergen Klopp a third home defeat in a row.

Wolves winger Helder Costa turned in a virtuoso performance with a hand in both his team’s first-half goals to leave Anfield stunned before Divock Origi grabbed a late consolation for Liverpool.

A despondent Klopp, who rested several first-team regulars, took responsibility for another chastening defeat, three days after Liverpool were knocked out of the League Cup by Southampton.

“I am responsible for the line-up, you cannot blame the players for that, you watch them playing and you learn a lot about them,” the German told reporters.

“It was a very bad performance, we started bad, it didn’t get better. There are not a lot of good things to say today.”

Liverpool, fourth in the Premier League, had won only one of their seven games in 2017 and Klopp threw on Philippe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge and Emre Can to try to spark a revival.
