Jurgen Klopp joked that Liverpool’s win over Newcastle United was ‘six months’ in the making after the Reds moved to within six points of the Champions League places.
Liverpool have endured a difficult season so far, but back-to-back wins over Everton and the Magpies has got them firmly back in contention for a top four finish. Newcastle currently occupy fourth, but the Reds, who are the only side to beat them in the Premier League this season, completed a league double over Eddie Howe’s side courtesy of first half goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo.
With both goals the end result of eye-catching team moves after lofted through-balls, Klopp shared his love of both strikes when speaking at his post-match press conference after the game.
