Newcastle United left Anfield empty handed after suffering a last gasp hammer blow as Fabio Carvalho struck in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 win for Liverpool.
The goal sparked an angry exchange between both benches with Liverpool keeper coach John Achterberg flicking a V sign to the Toon coaching team and some overzealous celebrations in the faces of the home staff. If anything the reaction from Liverpool's bench showed how rattled the Reds had been on a night in which United showed they can rub shoulders with the top two.
An FA investigation is set to follow with Newcastle saying nothing about the encounter between staff. With Newcastle players booed off after being accused of time wasting, it sets up what will be an intense rematch in February next year.
