Winning at least Newcastle, Liverpool continues to put pressure on Man City

Entering the trip to Newcastle, Liverpool had many changes in the starting lineup when coach Jurgen Klopp boldly put many pillars including Salah, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho and Thiago on the bench. This is also understandable because in the middle of next week, Liverpool will have an extremely important Champions League semi-final second leg against Villarreal in Spain.

Despite playing with a reserve team, Liverpool still proved to be completely overwhelming compared to Newcastle. In the 19th minute, Liverpool’s efforts to stop the city finally paid off.

Jota delicately poked Keita into the penalty area. The midfielder then had an extremely calm handling phase to eliminate goalkeeper Dúbravka before coming out from close range to net Newcastle to open the scoring.

After the goal, Liverpool no longer increased the pace of the game, but they still held the ball to attack a lot. The Kop has many clear opportunities to increase the gap. However, their strikers were all unsuccessful.

Victory over Newcastle with a score of 1-0, Liverpool temporarily rose to the top of the Premier League table with 82 points, 2 points more than Man City. At 23:30 tonight (April 30), Man City will face Leeds United away from Elland Road with the task of finding 3 points to claim the top spot.
