As the sun set on Jurgen Klopp’s storied tenure at Anfield, the Reds ensured his final bow was a triumphant one, dispatching Wolves 2-0 in a fitting farewell.
Between the sticks, Alisson (8/10) bid his manager a fond adieu, commanding his area with his typical authority and pulling off one crucial save to preserve the clean sheet.
In defense, Trent Alexander-Arnold (7/10) and Andy Robertson (7/10) provided the customary attacking thrust from the full-back positions, while the towering duo of Virgil van Dijk (9/10) and debutant Jarell Quansah (9/10) were immense at the heart of the backline. Quansah’s goal-scoring contribution capped a colossal display on his first-team bow.
In midfield, Wataru Endo (7/10) and Harvey Elliott (8/10) provided industry and craft in equal measure, with the latter’s sumptuous assist for the opener the standout moment. But the orchestrator-in-chief was Alexis Mac Allister (10/10, MOTM), the Argentine’s goal and all-round excellence encapsulating the Klopp ethos.
Upfront, Mohamed Salah (6/10), Luis Diaz (6/10) and Cody Gakpo (6/10) were unable to mark the manager’s farewell with a goal, though their tireless shifts typified the pressing principles that have defined the Klopp era.
As the final whistle blew, Klopp (10/10) drank in the adoration of the Kop one last time, his legacy as a Liverpool legend cemented. This was a fitting finale for a coaching colossus.
