Liverpool vs Newcastle : Latest Updates

Mohamed Salah’s attacking clinic resulted in Liverpool beating Newcastle, but Jurgen Klopp was left to rue the disaster caused by Darwin Nunez.

Throughout the game, Liverpool maintained their dominance but were left frustrated in the final third as Luis Diaz’s well-taken opener was denied by VAR and Mohamed Salah’s spot-kick was blocked just minutes later.

In the opening 45-minutes, Liverpool was almost unable to capitalize on their chances when Dan Burn headed his effort past Alisson Becker in the first half of the game, only for it to be ruled out by an offside incident during the build-up.

But in his final game before he goes to Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Salah redeemed himself by tapping home an opener just four minutes into second-half. However, the lead was short-lived as Alexander Isak scored an equalizer for Eddie Howe’s team within five minutes.

Liverpool has the opportunity to secure a 13-match unbeaten run in the English Premier League by hosting Newcastle United on Saturday at Anfield. The Reds have a record of 7-5-0 in their past 12 matches, which includes draws with Arsenal and Manchester City, the defending champions of the league. With four consecutive losses in their last five Premier League matches, Newcastle (9-2-8) has dropped to ninth place in the table. Liverpool has not defeated the Magpies since 2015, and they have won five consecutive matches.
