Liverpool are facing a near-impossible pathway into the Champions League next season after watching Newcastle United cement their top-four position despite a stalemate with relegation-threatened Leicester City.
In a game that held significance at both ends in the Premier League standings, Newcastle struck the frame as many as three times throughout the 90 minutes. However, they were unable to find a winner as Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron crashed against the post, while Bruno Guimaraes also passed up a golden chance.
Newcastle were dominant throughout and would have been worthy winners. However, the point they did get from their 0-0 draw has rubber-stamped Champions League qualification in any case.
