Match Events
- The Reds got off to a horrible start as defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold was close to receiving his marching orders after receiving a yellow card and making a dubious tackle on Anthony Gordon.
- Newcastle took full advantage of Liverpool’s sloppy start, as Gordon latched onto a Alexander-Arnold mistake and slotted the ball through Alisson’s legs – into the back of the net.
- Things went from bad to worse for the visitors when Virgil Van Dijk was sent off for a foul on Newcastle’s talisman, Alexander Isak.
- Eddie Howe’s side went into the break with a slender lead and started the second half strongly, with Miguel Almiron coming close once again.
- The Reds struggled to create for the majority of the second half and were almost further behind as Almiron struck the post after a mazy run through the Liverpool defence.
- Liverpool, against the run of play, managed to find an equaliser through substitute Darwin Nunez, who’s tidy finish cancelled out Gordon’s earlier strike.
- Then, in the dying stages of the match, Liverpool secured all three points as Darwin Nunez scored his second of the match with an emphatic finish past Nick Pope.

Will Newcastle Finish In The Top Four ?
- The Magpies have started the 2023-24 campaign poorly, losing to Manchester City and Liverpool with underwhelming performances.
- Eddie Howe’s side made smart decisions in their summer recruitment, signing Sandro Tonali, Tino Livramento, Harvey Barnes and Lewis Hall.
- These additions, alongside their already star-studded squad, have made ambitions at St James Park sky-rocket and Champions League qualification is the goal once again.
- Newcastle will be in the UCL draw next week for the first time in over two decades and the club are set to be a dark horse in the competition.
- A tough test is in store for Eddie Howe’s side next week, as they travel to Brighton who will be looking to bounce back from 3-1 defeat to West Ham.
