Things are looking up at Liverpool after a solid 2-0 win over Newcastle left Jurgen Klopp’s side just six points short of the Premier League top four with a game in hand.
Early goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo did the trick for the away team at St James’ Park. Nick Pope was then sent off in the 22nd minute for handballing outside his area to prevent Mohamed Salah having a goalscoring opportunity.
After a miserable start to 2023, Liverpool have now won back-to-back Premier League games, against Everton and Newcastle, to move back into contention for the top four. They will now turn their attention to hosting Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.
