Jurgen Klopp hinted that Liverpool face a nervous wait to see if Darwin Nunez will be available for their Champions League reunion with Real Madrid.
The Reds capped a positive week, which started with a win over Everton, with a second victory in a matter of days - beating Newcastle United 2-0 at St James’ Park. Nunez opened the scoring on Tyneside with a ruthless finish, before Cody Gakpo made it two after 17 minutes.
And Liverpool ’s domination was then compounded five minutes later when Magpies keeper Nick Pope was sent off for handling the ball outside of the penalty area. The hosts battled on with a man fewer, but failed to engineer any kind of comeback.
