In a night marked by chaos and controversy at Anfield, Mohamed Salah guided Liverpool to a crucial victory against Newcastle, securing a three-point lead in the Premier League. Salah’s masterclass included two goals and two assists, with his opener marking his 150th goal for the club. However, Liverpool faces the challenge of maintaining their lead as Salah departs for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Newcastle, amidst their struggles, showcased resilience, with Martin Dubravka’s exceptional goalkeeping denying Salah from the penalty spot in the first half. Despite two disallowed goals for Newcastle, Liverpool’s relentless attack prevailed in the second half, extending their lead at the top. Manager Jurgen Klopp must now navigate Liverpool through Salah’s absence during the international tournament.

Liverpool’s dominance, with only one loss in 30 Premier League games, stands in contrast to Newcastle’s recent struggles, losing seven of their last eight matches. Eddie Howe’s side faces challenges in Champions League contention, having not won away since September. The chaotic clash at Anfield sets the stage for Liverpool’s quest to maintain their position without their Egyptian maestro.

Here is the highlight video of Liverpool vs. Newcastle United, which ended with a 4-2 victory for Liverpool.
