Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on his side after combatting Newcastle United after ending their unbeaten run in 2022. Liverpool became the first side to win here this year in the Premier League and Klopp knew it would be tough against a rejuvanted Geordie crowd.
He said: "It’s the most difficult of circumstances. A team in form, a crowd waiting for ages for proper success.
"Coming here with five changes and building pretty much a new setup is really difficult, so the performance was absolutely outstanding. I loved it. We controlled the game in so many ways."
