Liverpool stars Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold both talked up the enormity of winning at St James' Park in the aftermath of Newcastle United's 2-0 loss on Saturday night.
The Dutchman made his return to the starting line-up for the Reds after a six-week lay off while the England full-back was the driving force for Jurgen Klopp's side. The Merseyside club's victory proved to be Newcastle's only defeat on home turf this season and their first loss since Liverpool won in May on Tyneside.
Alexander-Arnold said after the game: "It’s massive. This was a big one. We got our win against Everton, that was a massive one for us as well. It would have meant nothing if we'd come here and hadn’t backed it up with another win."
