Liverpool reignited their top-four hopes with an impressive 2-0 victory as 10-man Newcastle saw goalkeeper Nick Pope sent off.
The Reds snatched the lead on 10 minutes when Darwin Nunez struck his first league goal since November 12 with a thumping effort that finished off Trent Alexander-Arnold’s sumptuous pass.

Cody Gakpo then stunned the St James’ Park faithful just seven minutes later when he made it two in two matches to polish off Mohamed Salah’s wonderful first-time pass.

Despite being a man down, the hosts still had plenty of opportunities in an action-packed first period.

Indeed, Alisson made brilliant saves to tip Allan Saint-Maximin’s shot onto the bar and thwart Miguel Almiron when the forward was clear on goal.


Dan Burn also hit the woodwork with a header as Newcastle continued to push for a way back into the contest.

The hosts looked the more likely in a more turgid second half with Fabian Schar nodding a free header wide, before Alisson again produced heroics to block substitute Callum Wilson’s shot.
