The footballing gods giveth with one hand but taketh away with another. Liverpool found that out the hard way as they battled to a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Newcastle United on Wednesday night.
Fabio Carvalho ’s latest of winners clinched a rather fortuitous win to move the Reds up to fifth in the table. On a night where their poor start to the campaign looked set to continue to dismantle their title-hopes as early as August, they found a way to make up ground.
Granted, Jurgen Klopp ’s side still trail league-leaders Arsenal by seven points, reigning champions Man City by five points and third-placed Tottenham Hotspur by three points, but at least an unconvincing victory over the Magpies didn’t leave them further behind.
