Trent's goal ended Newcastle's misery as the Covid-affected home team raced to a 3-1 comfortable victory.

Just before the start of the match, Liverpool lost Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho to positive cases of Covid. However, this didn't dampen the spirit of the squad going into the tricky fixture vs Newcastle.

Newcastle did take a surprise lead in the 7th minute through Jonjo Shelvey but the home side roared back as they scored two goals in the first-half itself.

Diego Jota opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 21st minute while Mohamed Salah netted the second four minutes later.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool ended the match strongly with 75 per cent possession of the ball and five more shots on target as compared to their opponents.

The win helped Liverpool bridge the gap to Manchester City to just a single point as they strengthened their second place on the Premier League table.
