The Reds ended their campaign and the Germans’ tenure on a high with a comfortable 2-0 win over 10-man Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Argentine nodded past Jose Sa from Harvey Elliott’s cross before Jarell Quansah netted his second in as many matches on the stroke of half-time. With the game edging towards a Liverpool win, Anfield erupted in a continuous loop…
Liverpool saw Jurgen Klopp off with a win in his final game as manager on Sunday. It wasn’t the prettiest game in the end. With nothing riding on the result and the sun beating down at Anfield, Liverpool played out a comfortable 2-0 win. In reality, with Wolves down to 10 men, it really should have been more. Harvey Elliott stole the show, but at times some of his teammates couldn’t live up to the same billing. One who tried his best was Luis Diaz. The Colombian has been good recently and despite claims that he might leave Liverpool this…

By half-time, Jarell Quansah had helped force a second goal over the line and the Klopp farewell match was…

Alexis Mac Allister got the ball rolling with a lovely flicked…
