Jurgen Klopp admits Champions League fear as Newcastle open up eight-point lead over Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp admits he is worried about Liverpool's prospects of qualifying for next season's Champions League following their dramatic home defeat to Leeds United. The Reds currently trail Newcastle United by eight points following Crysencio Summerville's 89th-minute winner at Anfield on Saturday night.

The Magpies moved into the top four on the back of a sensational away victory at Tottenham last weekend, and maintained their position with a thumping home win over Aston Villa. Callum Wilson's brace and goals from Miguel Almiron and Joelinton sealed a comfortable 4-0 victory at St James' Park.

In contrast, Klopp's side slipped to a second straight defeat to relegation contenders having defied the form book to triumph over Manchester City a fortnight ago. Liverpool followed up the shock setback at Forest with a 2-1 loss to Leeds on home soil.
