Jurgen Klopp‘s final game at Liverpool was a procession, beating Wolves 2-0 as two of the club’s stars of the future, Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah, shone.

For once, and quite rightly, the football was far from the priority at Anfield, with a festival atmosphere among Liverpool fans as they marked Klopp’s final game.

The Kop was joined by thousands of other voices as supporters went through the songbook throughout the first half, including reminders of key players from the manager’s reign who have since departed, from Roberto Firmino to Divock Origi.

On the pitch, Wolves went down to 10 men before the half-hour, with Nelson Semedo sent off after a VAR review for a stunning challenge on Alexis Mac Allister.

It was only fitting that it was Mac Allister, Klopp’s new favourite, who opened the scoring, the No. 10 heading in brilliantly from Elliott’s perfectly flighted cross.

Quansah made it 2-0 soon after, the centre-back scoring his second goal in as many games as he followed up Mo Salah‘s initial effort to force it over the line.

Half-time arrived and Klopp rushed down the tunnel for what was likely a half-time message of ‘more of the same, lads’.

It really was more of the same, and Liverpool could have been 4-0 up within five minutes of the restart, first with Mac Allister netting only to be ruled out as the ball went out in the buildup.

Cody Gakpo then beat Jose Sa to a loose ball in the box and pulled it back for Luis Diaz under pressure, but the Colombian could only hit the bar, with his effort bouncing onto the line and back out.

Klopp opted for a triple change with 20 minutes to play and off came Mac Allister, Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Ryan Gravenberch, Darwin Nunez and Conor Bradley coming on.

Liverpool lost steam but kept control of the match; both teams were playing for the end of the season, and everyone in Anfield was naturally anticipating what would happen after the final whistle.

When the final whistle blew, the ceremonial aspects of the 38th Premier League match gave way to well-earned grandeur, as a renowned person was honored for his farewell appearance.
