Liverpool’s Strong Start
From the beginning, Liverpool was in charge. They played well and showed off their strong offense. Newcastle, missing their star player Alexander Isak due to injury, had a tough time keeping up. Liverpool scored first in the 11th minute. Luis Diaz passed the ball perfectly to Szoboszlai, who shot it past the defense. The ball went through Sandro Tonali and Dan Burn’s legs, catching goalie Nick Pope off guard. This was also Liverpool’s 100th goal of the season.
Mohamed Salah thought he should have had a penalty early on after a tackle, but the referee disagreed. Still, Liverpool kept pushing forward while Newcastle struggled to create chances. Callum Wilson, filling in for Isak, had a one-on-one chance but couldn’t score. That miss would be costly for Newcastle.
Mac Allister Scores Again
Newcastle’s hopes of breaking their long winless streak at Anfield faded as Liverpool maintained control. Szoboszlai nearly scored again after a turnover, but his shot went just wide.
The mood in Anfield got even better when news came that Arsenal drew with Nottingham Forest. Fans started singing confidently, “We’re going to win the league.” The stress from Liverpool’s earlier game against Wolves was gone.
In the second half, Mac Allister scored the second goal. He stole the ball from Tonali, started a quick break, and finished it off with a neat shot from Salah’s setup. That made it 2-0 and showed how powerful Liverpool’s offense is this season.
Salah’s Role and Missed Opportunities
Even though Salah didn’t score, he was vital to the win. He assisted Mac Allister and kept putting pressure on Newcastle. He almost extended his goal streak to nine games but couldn’t find the net. At one point, Diaz missed a chance from Salah’s cross, and Salah tried to take some shots himself. He was allowed to be creative, showing off his skills.
Liverpool on the Path to the Title
With this win, Liverpool is looking more likely to claim their 20th league title. Manager Arne Slot couldn’t coach from the sidelines, but it’s hard to see a team that has only lost once this season letting this lead go. Newcastle, meanwhile, will wonder what might have been if they had taken their early chances. Comfortable Win for Liverpool Over Newcastle.
As the game ended, Liverpool fans celebrated another step closer to glory, knowing their team is still in control of the title chase.
