Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle
by James Nalton
at Anfield
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.

With climate change, commercial overload and endless fixtures, footballers are being pushed to breaking point. It’s time their unions became a more powerful, unified force, writes JAMES NALTON
