Wolverhampton WanderersWolverhampton Wanderers defender Hugo Bueno acknowledged that Liverpool's quality proved too much for his side in their 3-1 FA Cup defeat.
What happened?
The Reds took control of the match shortly after the break, with Andy Robertson opening the scoring with a powerful strike from distance. Mo Salah quickly doubled the lead, putting Liverpool firmly in command of the tie. Curtis Jones added a third later in the match, while Wolves could only manage a late consolation goal.
Liverpool's performance
Bueno admitted that Liverpool operated at a higher level on the night, saying: “They were two very different games [against Liverpool]. Today they really showed their level, they were on it and we couldn’t deal with it I don’t think.” The 22-year-old defender suggested Wolves needed to produce a far stronger performance to compete with a side like Liverpool.
Wolves' focus on survival
Despite the FA Cup defeat, Wolves remain focused on their fight to stay in the Premier League. Bueno stressed that Rob Edwards' squad understands the urgency of their situation heading into the final stretch of the season. He explained: “We just have to win every game, we know that and it’s clear. We have eight finals left and we’re going to give 100 per cent in every single game.”
