Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
The Jurgen Klopp era draws to a close with a 299th and final victory for Liverpool's beloved coach: the Reds beat Wolves 2-0 at Anfield on the last day of the Premier League season. His team dominated possession throughout, going up a gear to score twice after the away side were reduced to 10 men by Semedo's reckless tackle: first, Mac Allister headed home, then Quansah scored the second. Despite finishing with an incredible xG of 5.24 - to Wolves' more modest 0.56 - Liverpool could not score again after the interval, when they struck the crossbar and Sa made several fine saves. The Reds sit third at the end of play, with Wolves settling for 14th, and both clubs have plenty to look forward to in the months ahead. O'Neil will look to build on his first year in charge at Molineux, while Klopp's exit heralds life under Arne Slot at Anfield. That's all from today's live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

SAVE! Szoboszlai travels some distance with the ball, before laying it off to Salah on the right side of the area. When poised to shoot, a loose touch allows Sa to race off his line and smother the ball. It's more excellent goalkeeping from the Wolves goalkeeper, but Salah should have done better.

A corner from the left picks out Van Dijk in the area, but Liverpool's captain can only steer his header over the crossbar from near the penalty spot.

There will be at least four additional minutes at the end of this game, as the home fans start to serenade their departing manager. Wolves are defending doggedly, as they try to at least prevent Liverpool scoring in the second half.

Not since December 17 have Liverpool kept a Premier League clean sheet at Anfield, and they've even had a few scares today, against 10-man Wolves. Can they hold on for the next few minutes to end that run?

GOAL CHECK! Left alone in the area, Doherty leaps to convert a 10-yard header; however, the officials immediately rule it out for offside. The VAR takes a look, but ultimately the on-field decision stands: no goal!

SAVE! Alisson is forced into action, as Neto curls a free-kick over Liverpool's defensive wall and towards the bottom-left corner! It's a fine stop, given he's had so little to do!

After Szoboszlai's low cross from the left is nearly turned past Sa by his own player, Van Dijk drives a long-range shot over the top. It's incredible that Liverpool have failed to add a third goal during this dominant second-half display.
