With this victory Liverpool remains second in the points table only and stay only one point behind reigning champions Manchester City. However, the condition of Newcastle United is opposite to that of Liverpool, despite their good resistance today the Magpies remain stuck to the relegation zone in 19th position level on points with 20th placed Norwich City. And relegation looks more than likely for Toons.

20′ Goooalll Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle United, Diogo Jota scores!!! Jota levels the scoring for the Reds, the former Wolves striker scores on the rebound after his initial header was saved by Alisson.

35′ How did Mo Salah miss that!!! Oxlade-Chamberlain plays a ball over the top for Salah but the Egyptian gets the finish horribly wrong by putting it wide to the left side of Dubravka’s post.
Half time: Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle United, After Shelvey gave Liverpool a shock early lead Liverpool have responded well with goals from Jota and Salah. Newcastle United have been a threat going forward.
65′ Big Penalty shout for Newcastle!!! Ball is played across the box for Fraser, but Trent Alexander-Arnold JUST gets a toe to the ball in his tackle. Nothing given.
Naby Keita also comes on, for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
81′ How has Jota Missed!! The ball falls to the Portuguese after Firmino’s cross wasn’t cleared by Newcastle, but Hayden somehow blocks Jota’s poke towards goal on the goal-line!
87′ Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United WHAT AN OUTRAGEOUS GOAL FROM TRENT ALEXANDER ARNOLD!!! 10 yards outside the box, the England international defender fires a thunderbolt into the top corner. And that should be all three points wrapped up for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
