Klopp said, "We missed a lot of chances and we had to defend the counter-attacks of Wolves with an incredible team. That was the challenge today. In these difficult circumstances I liked the game we played because we played between their lines in the first half. The start was maybe not really outstanding because we had to learn a little bit how we can play them.

"But when the boys found it out, then it looked really, really good – apart from the finishing or the last pass, these kinds of things. It was clear: when you don't score you just have to keep going and that's what we did. And then Divock Origi, the legend, came and finished it off for us. I love it."

On why Origi has the knack for scoring big goals, Klopp also said: "Because he is an incredible finisher – if we don't know it at Liverpool, who should know it then? We saw that so often. How I said, it's difficult to get 500 minutes a week in this team because of the players we have.

"But Divock Origi is an incredible football player. He is great in these moments, he doesn't need a lot of run-up or time to find into a game, and especially not in this game today. It was his game, he could be Divock Origi 100 per cent: in and around the box, use your body, use your technique, finish the situations off.

"He was unlucky with the ball before I think, he was involved in a lot of good moments, he was a threat before he scored. These kinds of goals we see plenty of times in training and everywhere. Winning in the 95th minute is great, but when Div scores the goal it makes it even better, to be honest."
