Liverpool 2-0 Wolves: Klopp departs emotional Anfield with victory in last game

Jurgen Klopp signed off as Liverpool boss with a 2-0 win over Wolves as his legendary tenure came to an end at an emotional Anfield.

Match Report

Klopp's 491st and final game in charge of Liverpool was played to the backdrop of Anfield sunshine and his team performed with the intensity associated with his unique style of football.

Alexis Mac Allister headed the opener before Jarell Quansah bundled home a second before half-time. It was fitting that Klopp's men created a bulky 5.20 worth of expected goals as they created chance after chance but couldn't quite find further goals.

Liverpool's task was made easier by Nelson Semedo's sending-off on 28 minutes for a foul on Mac Allister that was upgraded from a yellow to a red card by VAR.
