Liverpool continued a good week with an impressive victory at Champions League qualification rivals Newcastle United on Saturday.

The result means Jurgen Klopp’s charges have now closed the gap on the fourth-placed Toon Army to six points with a game in hand.
But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at St James' Park.
