The Reds played phenomenally during the whole game.

Liverpool won against Newcastle 4-2 at Anfield and remained in the 1st place in the Premier League with 45 points – 3 more than Aston Villa and 5 more than Manchester City, but the Sky Blues have a game in hand.

The home side controlled the match in the 1st half but failed to score despite having a penalty, but Mohamed Salah missed.

However, the Egyptian needed only 4 minutes in the 2nd half to score the 1st goal in the clash after Darwin Nunez’s assist. However, the Magpies tied after Alexander Isak’s goal in the 54th minute after Anthony Gordon’s assist.

The Reds needed to wait until the 74th minute to take the lead again when Curtis Jones netted after Diogo Jota’s assist. Four minutes later, Cody Gakpo made the home team lead by 2 goals with his goal after Salah’s assist.

However, Newcastle got back in the game when Sven Botman headed the ball into the Reds net after a corner in the 81st minute to make his team trail only a goal.

Everything was decided when Klopp’s side received a penalty, and this time, Mohamed Salah converted it in the 86th minute to make the Reds lead again 2 goals with only minutes until the end.

Newcastle are in 9th place in the Premier League with 29 points after 20 games, as that was the Magpies’ 5th defeat in their last 6 matches in the league.
