Dubliner Matt Doherty has revealed he and his Wolves teammates always believed they could beat Liverpool.
The Reds were dumped out of their second cup competition in the space of a week after a 2-1 loss at home to the Championship side.
Wolves progressed to the fourth round of the competition following a 2-0 win over Stoke City, and Doherty said that win inspired them going into the clash at Anfiled:
"We had knocked Stoke out before - they had a full strength team out and we made 7 changes. We had this confidence coming into the game."
After seeing Jurgen Klopp naming a somewhat under-strength side for yesterdays encounter, Doherty says this spurred his teammates on further:
"We saw their line up and realised they had made quite a few changes. When we saw that, it wasn't like we still thought we were going to win. We expected to win. That's what happened and we deserved it ."
Matt Doherty was speaking to Jamie Moore on Now That's What I Call Sport. You can hear the full interview below:
