UX reacts as Liverpool beat Wolves in Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge
Jurgen Klopp's final game as Liverpool manager ended in victory as the Reds beat Wolves 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
A sensitive Anfield saw a fine performance as Klopp issued a red card to ten-man Wolves, with Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah scoring the all-important Merseyside goals.
Although the result meant nothing to the Reds in terms of the Premier League table, the win proved a farewell for the legendary Liverpool manager.
Here's how social media reacted to events at Anfield.
After almost nine years of illustrious service, Klopp's final game in charge of Liverpool was always going to be incredibly emotional. A packed, sun-baked Anfield was in jubilant mood before kick-off, with fans showing their appreciation for the German coach.

It was a good start for Klopp's side as they played clean football, but their lives were made easier midway through the first half thanks to Nelson Semedo.
Defender Mac Allister saw him sent off after VAR intervention, with the Argentine giving the Reds the lead before rubbing salt in his wounds after just six minutes.
RED CARD! 🥃

That Semedo red card would not have happened if Wolves had not sent a message to bin VAR.

Alexis Mac Allister is our signing of the season with a goal in Klopp's last game. I wish we had signed him last season under Klopp. ❤️

Things got even better for Liverpool against ten-man Wolves five minutes before the break and it was Quansah who doubled their advantage.
The defender bundled the ball over the line following a Liverpool corner and made it two goals in two games in all but secured victory in Klopp's final game in charge.

Luis Diaz should have given Liverpool a three-goal cushion seconds after the restart, but the Colombian inexplicably smashed his effort over the crossbar from just five yards.
if that sums up luis diaz i don't know what he's doing

How did Luis Diaz not score a goal there

Liverpool could have and almost certainly should have added to the scoreline before the full-time whistle, with the Reds scoring through Jose Sa midway through the second half.

It proved a perfect afternoon for Liverpool fans as Klopp was bid farewell in front of his beloved Anfield, with fans on social media taking time to reflect on what has been a special season for the Reds.
I will always admire Jurgen Klopp for reviving our club. More than lips, he has given us countless memories of life. I hope he enjoys the next chapter in his life.

If you fit in a club – any club – you just fit. It's more than tactics and team selection.
Jurgen Klopp has done Liverpool well, and he is forever leaving the highest part of the clubs history.
