A PAIR of goals from midfielders helped Liverpool to another Premier League win, further widening the gap between themselves and second-placed Arsenal.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister were outstanding against Newcastle, and both got their name on the scoresheet in another important win.

Liverpool now hold a 13-point lead at the top of the table after Arsenal could only draw with Nottingham Forest.
