Former defender Jamie Carragher has explained why Newcastle United's Allan Saint-Maximin was handed the 'Player of the Match' over Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
The Reds ended their recent torrid away form with an assured win over the Magpies thanks to first-half goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo. There were chances to add to their lead with Martin Dubravka forced to tip the Uruguayan's low effort round the post with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota all going close.
Meanwhile at the other end, it was the ever-reliable Brazilian who maintained Liverpool's clean sheet as he made countless important saves - including one which saw the Frenchman's effort pushed onto the bar after he fashioned some space in the penalty area.
