Liverpool FC v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp registered a win in his last game in charge.

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold paid an emotional tribute to outgoing boss Jurgen Klopp. The German has left Anfield after nine successful seasons in charge.

Alexander-Arnold, 25, has played most of his senior career under Klopp - 310 games across competitions - to be exact, contributing an impressive 100 goal contributions (19 goals, 81 assists). That includes three goals and nine assists in 37 games across competitions.

The Englishman - who played 71 minutes in Klopp's final game in charge on Sunday (May 19) - acknowledged the role the German played in transforming his life.

“He changed my Life. He made my dreams come true. I haven’t cried for years”.

Under Klopp, Alexander-Arnold became one of the best full-backs in club football and struck a devastating partnership with his left-back partner Andrew Robertson.

The duo delivered the Reds their first league title in the Premier League era and many other trophies, like the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

It was a memorable occasion awash with plenty of emotion as Jurgen Klopp took charge of his final game in charge of Liverpool after arriving in late 2016. Reds fans provided the German a touching rendition of "You'll never walk alone".

On the pitch, Klopp's side delivered a befitting performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of a passionate Anfield crowd. Summer signing Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring after 34 minutes before Jarell Amorin Quansah scored the final Reds goal of the Klopp era six minutes later.

With the win, the Reds finished third in the Premier League, nine points behind champions Manchester City (91). It also made Klopp the first Reds manager in 96 years to win his final game in charge at the club.

In 491 games at the helm, the German delivered 299 wins, with Klopp losing just 12 of 167 Premier League games at Anfield as the Kop bade their beloved boss a teary-eyed farewell.
