Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers but failed to win the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp's side had already pulled off one miraculous comeback this week but couldn't do it again after City won at Brighton. The Reds did their part however with Sadio Mane tapping home the opener after just 17 minutes before the Senegalese added a second 10 minutes from time.
Here's how it played out:

Sloppy from Fabinho as he brings down Jimenez. Liverpool need to up the tempo but a lot of their players played mid-week and tiredness may be an issue.
Wolves slot Jimenez into the box and he sends a shot wide of goal.

First Wolves get into the box on the right with Doherty who tries to find Jimenez with a cross, Matip heads it away before Salah wins the ball. He gives it to Origi who puts a long ball forward to Mane. Mane takes it into the box, holds it up and finds Origi who shoots but Coady comes across and deflects it wide.

That was Divock Origi's last touch of the season as he makes way for James Milner.
It could be curtains for Liverpool's title run shot though as Mahrez puts Man City 3-1 in front at Brighton.

Doherty slots a long ball over the centre-backs and finds Jota who works it to the left of the box and shoots but Alisson covers the near post and makes the save.

The title is gone but Liverpool can still have to win this game but Wolves look the more likely of the two to score. Alisson makes another good save to deny Jota.
Man City have gone 4-1 up.

Liverpool are keeping hold of possession to get some control back on this game, they aren't exactly attacking but they're making it hard for Wolves to get the ball back.
