This had an inescapable end-of-season feel to it and it can be instantly consigned to the dustbin as supporters now gaze ahead to Crystal Palace this week, when, as the terrace anthem informed us late on, Liverpool will be "running round Anfield with the league".

The Reds had the lead inside 10 minutes when Conor Bradley skipped by two challenges before playing in Harvey Elliott, who tapped home from around six yards out on just his second league start this term.

Just days after signing a new contract, it was a perfect snapshot of why Bradley has been rewarded with those fresh terms and why there is so much excitement about the athletic Northern Ireland international, regardless of the impending arrival of £30m Jeremie Frimpong.

The head coach spoke before the game of the No.8 position being the Hungary captain's favoured and after an enterprising first half full of energy and effort, he showed the requisite quality to match it with a beautiful strike that arched into the top corner from a relatively tight angle.

Alisson made a stunning save from Danny Welbeck's free-kick shortly after the restart before denying the former Arsenal and Manchester United striker once more from close range.

Bradley started to tire as the game wore on and the introduction of the superb Kaoru Mitoma was the turning point as the Japan winger began to pull the strings before grabbing the equaliser after Alisson had once more repelled Welbeck.

Klopp, though, put a sprinkling of his own unique panache on proceedings and while the chant was greeted with a vociferous response by the Reds fans at Anfield for the final game of last season against Wolves, many would have been forgiven for privately feeling a sense of trepidation about the future.

The era of Slot, however, could barely have started in more spectacular fashion.

The head coach's lamenting in the build up to this game of how the Reds were eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain in March served as something of a major signpost towards his next ambition on Merseyside in the shape of a seventh European Cup too.
