Liverpool may have secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory, but what followed the final whistle reportedly overshadowed everything that happened on the pitch. According to multiple reports, the real drama unfolded out of sight, deep inside the Anfield tunnel — and it was explosive enough to demand police involvement.
🚨 When the Final Whistle Wasn’t the End
The match itself was tense. Wolves, despite arriving with a weakened squad and a worrying league record, pushed Liverpool to their limits. But whatever festive goodwill existed during the 90 minutes is said to have vanished instantly once the referee blew for full time.
Eyewitnesses claim the trouble began with a frosty handshake between Arne Slot and Rob Edwards. What followed, they say, was a verbal exchange that escalated at frightening speed.
🧨 The Comment That Lit the Fuse
Sources familiar with the situation allege that a remark from Edwards — reportedly questioning the legitimacy of Liverpool’s winning goal scored by Florian Wirtz — struck a nerve.
Normally calm and controlled, Slot is said to have reacted sharply. Reports from inside the tunnel suggest the Liverpool boss stepped forward and delivered a blistering verbal response that stunned nearby staff.

The comment reportedly referenced Wolves’ ongoing struggles — a club now facing an unwanted Premier League record for the longest winless start to a season.
👮 Police Forced to Step In
What began as heated words is claimed to have quickly turned physical. Coaching staff from both sides allegedly rushed in as tempers flared, turning the tunnel into a scene of chaos.
With the situation spiraling, Merseyside Police officers, already positioned nearby for security, were forced to intervene to separate the groups. Witnesses describe shouting, aggressive posturing, and a confrontation that took several moments to calm.
Slot was eventually escorted toward Liverpool’s dressing room, but reports say the tension hadn’t fully subsided even then.
⚖️ FA Review Underway?
Security footage from the tunnel area is now reportedly under review, with early descriptions labeling the incident as one of the most intense post-match managerial clashes seen in recent years.
As of now, neither club has issued an official statement, and it remains unclear whether disciplinary action will follow.
