Wolves star Matt Doherty shocks fans with striking hairdo against Liverpool as they say ‘has he cut his own hair?’

WOLVES defender Matt Doherty stunned football fans as they spotted his bold haircut during Saturday’s lunchtime defeat to Liverpool.

Gary O’Neil’s men spurned a 1-0 half-time lead as they lost 3-1 to Jurgen Klopp’s Reds at Molineux.

Former Tottenham man Doherty, 31, replaced Hwang Hee-chan on the hour mark, shortly after Liverpool bagged their equaliser.

Yet many viewers were left rather distracted by Doherty’s new hairstyle.

The Ireland star donned the striking look during Wolves’ clash with Crystal Palace before the international break.

But a host of fans had not picked up on it until they tuned in for the early kick-off on Saturday.

And they reacted to the trim with some cutting tweets.

One said: “Has Matt Doherty cut his own hair?”

Another replied: “Some of the worst hair I’ve ever seen on Matt Doherty there.”

A third added: “Matt Doherty deserves a for that barnet.”

And a fourth responded: “What the hell is going on with Matt Doherty’s hair looool?”

Doherty re-joined Wolves for a second spell in the summer after spending six months with Atletico Madrid.

He spent 10 years with the club during his first stint, leaving in 2020 after playing more than 300 games for Wanderers.

He signed for Spurs but struggled to impress, before seeing his contract terminated in January.

Doherty has also earned 37 caps for Ireland, contributing one goal.
