Eric one more time when Wolves visit on the final day of the season.
The Liverpool support were keen to savour the occasion as Klopp’s name reverberated around the stadium and his players responded by finding their form after a difficult few weeks.
Robertson got the second goal Liverpool’s dominance deserved before the break when he tapped in the rebound after Salah’s initial effort was parried by Vicario.
Tottenham were just as poor at the start of the second period to take their tally of goals conceded in the last four games to 13.
Gakpo’s precise header from Elliott’s cross found the bottom corner on 50 minutes.
Elliott then scored the goal of the game when he blasted into the top corner from outside the box.
Postecoglou introduced Richarlison and James Maddison as part of a triple change on the hour mark and the visitors were transformed in the final stages.
Richarlison swept home Brennan Johnson’s cross and then teed up Son to score for the fifth consecutive game against Liverpool.
Alisson Becker needed to produce a vital stop from Richarlison to prevent a grandstand finish in seven minutes of added time.
Liverpool’s defensive lapses showed why they still need a miracle collapse by Arsenal and Manchester City in the final fortnight of the season to have any chance of ending Klopp’s nine-year stay as Premier League champions.
But Tottenham’s response was too little, too late to help their ambitions of joining the Reds in the Champions League next season.
