Former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has praised Newcastle United for a ‘brave’ performance in their 2-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday.
Newcastle haven’t beaten Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League in 28 years (L22 D5) but drew first blood when Alexander Isak capped his debut with the opener.
Isak peeled away from his marker and Sean Longstaff threaded the ball through a gap in the Liverpool defence for the Swedish international to fire emphatically into the top corner.
