Liverpool Triumph over Norwich in First Match Following Klopp’s Exit Announcement
Anfield bid farewell to Jürgen Klopp with a strong 5-2 win against Norwich in the FA Cup fourth round.
The Liverpool manager, who recently announced his departure at the end of the season, sat quietly as the crowd sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ before the game.
Shortly after, they sang “I’m so glad that Jürgen is a Red,” shifting the focus to the game ahead.
Klopp doesn’t want his final months to be all about praise. His team understood this well and defeated their spirited Championship opponents, managed by Klopp’s friend David Wagner, efficiently after a small setback.
Curtis Jones scored his fifth goal in as many home games, showing his excellent goal-scoring form. Darwin Nunez also scored a hat-trick, but Diogo Jota’s stunning volley stole the show.
Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch marked the start of what could be many celebrations at Anfield.
