Reds Dominate on New Year's Day! Liverpool 4-2 Newcastle | Extended Highlights

It's a brand new

year

, but there certainly feels something familiar about the weather at Anfield. It's another bleak and miserable night, but there hasn't been anything bleak and miserable about Liverpool so far this season, it felt to us like it was out of desperation at the end of last season. When it arrived in May, but right now we see ourselves in a pretty good place, Liverpool are leaders of the Premier League. As we move into the new

year

, tonight they will face the Newcastle team, who are completely beset by injuries at the moment, but are still recovering. the top four, well let's take a look at the two teams, we will start with Liverpool, of course there is still a long injury list for Liverpool, but what they have perhaps done a little better than Newcastle have handled better with team depth. they have at their disposal they made a lot of changes at Burnley in midweek they went to their midweek team today it's back to what we ranked more as the team of the weekend is the likes of Dominic soberly returns in midfield alongside Curtis Jones , wataru endo and Muhammad Salah. his final games before starting International Duty one win in five for Eddie How and Newcastle 11 players out who would qualify as first team players that list was joined tonight by Kieran Treia with a groin injury.

Callum Wilson is also out, so Tino Livero comes in. His last start was in their last win against B and injury problems allowed them to blood another of their talented young players. Lou Smiley is a local lad who has done very well alongside Sha Longstaff and Joe Linton who returned on Boxing Day. on the left side of the forward line which contains a lot of goals and talent in Alexander Isach and of course seven goals, Anthony Gordon, that's Alexander Arnold, that's Fabian Sher, the half punter, this is Curtis Jones, this is Lis Diaz, almost found Muhammad Salah.

I'm going to find Trent Alexander Arnold and the deflection just deflects the ball Liverpool so close Brilliant start from Liverpool on the front foot taking the game to Newcastle which ball is from Alexander Arnold Dar Nunes's ball is a bit behind so Nunes goes for the return neka with an excellent save Deni for a super block Liverpool refuses to lie down here now it's endo and that's out Target in Newcastle survives what a save was by dka I think it should be one to zero, although I really just touched a bit he didn't get a very good purchase Darwin new or I think Deka would have been much more problematic Van Dyk wonderfully brings the ball out from behind and finds a pass towards Darwin nun and Lis Diaz scores for Liverpool. as simple as they played through Newcastle Darwin Nunes couldn't score Luis Diaz could but the flag has been raised and it may not count Nunes could have gone too early well what a ball this is absolutely top class and I think Solo Looking at the angle, I think Dan Burn was a little lucky because he didn't know he was playing nun offside, but yeah, again, it's one of those where the lines at the end seem to play tricks on you. breath this is SOS L another brilliant tackle from watar o Endo puts Liverpool in front of Díaz still Díaz and falls under the challenge Sven botman is a Liverpool penalty had to be he danced well he the clear contact is a new year is Muhammad Salah since The penalty spot takes a breather to compose itself and is saved by Deka.

Alexander Arnold cuts the follow-up horribly and becomes a couple of minutes behind for Liverpool. Well, not a perfectly good penalty credit to the goalkeeper, he read that he went the right way. the save generated a lot of excitement for them but Alexander Arnold never really attacked it in the big us who looked offside the game will continue for now and this is the ball to Dan but it's a goal for now but the flag finally goes gonna. above it was a great celebration from Newcastle momentarily and it's just the offside fraction there you go it's a clever shot that's Le Di yeah now it's Joe Gomez Alexander Arnold my word well he's one of those that just to shoot the bow, hopefully, Duka didn't do it.

Even watching it, I'm not sure you know he has the ability, makes you think he went for the goal. Linton was now trying to create something for Newcastle, although Jones and Alexander Arnold combined to take the ball away from him. Here's Soos SL and now Lis. Diaz saos has continued his career Luis Diaz has used him as a decoy for Darwin and Mohamed Salah to pass Liverpool scores New Year's Muhammad Salah himself scores for Liverpool and they finally find a way to overcome it it was beautifully done that's what you call one-on-one clinical football end of the field towards the other without a Newcastle player approaching a Liverpool player and Darwin Junor just squared up, he could have shot himself, he knew Moalo was in a better position, this came from Joel Linton giving the ball away. inside the Liverpool penalty area and the quick step of the shabos play towards Diaz, who comes in from this left look, simply passes to Dan Burn effortlessly, sees Nunes' pass, but was playing with it, squares it for Mosal in his right foot and never misses from eight yards and that's a perfect start to the second half for Liverpool.

Well, he's seen Salas score a few over the years along with Fabinho alongside him and they still love it here. Now he is burning defender Salah for Nunes. Oh he's a fool too for moham for hitting Nunes Muhammad Salah almost scored without even trying to score. I think the same flag would have been raised there. I just think Nunes was in an offside position when the ball arrived on another great challenge. by Endo Salah nun saved by the goalkeeper amazing save by Martin Duka how could he avoid that? That's world class from Duka. Well, you might be wondering how it's not 5n given how many tries you've had at this game.

She scored a beautiful goal, Liverpool and there's Nunes again and the flag stays down and Nunes charges towards the goal and Martin Deka is on a one-man mission to try and keep Liverpool out tonight. I don't think you can ask for much more from a nun in the position. that there is nothing, the ball for isach and that is good and isach scores well that is how to catch Liverpool falls down it is Gordon for esack and it is a goal from absolutely nothing and Newcastle levels well all this is about the quality of Anthony Gordon who has moved from the right side to the left a beautiful skill to get away from two Liverpool players simply places it beyond the Liverpool goalkeeper in the far corner Salah a touch to get it under control Endo n no, it's wide a chance difficult because it is a little behind him, so he arches his neck back to generate the power that burns that is Endo that is Alexander completely changes the dynamic now Liverpool's attack with jot and gapo in salad still offers the same insurance for the goalkeeper Jones Livero away to a safe place otherwise It was a goal for Liverpool again, but we have said that many times there is the ball for Salah, who runs behind Burn, he is the defender and is really good, although it will be a bit for Corner, Bra could do everything to maintain.

He came in, but I couldn't do it and this is the Gap and Kate and Graber can't control their effort very well. Deka, once again your Newcastle United savior Keeper, has been inspiring, hasn't he? It has been absolutely exceptional. CU, this has gone through a crowd. of the players here is Salah and the little one came out oh Jones scores Curtis Jones for Liverpool they have fought their way through Newcastle again Diogo J's touch is out of this world and Curtis Jones finally for Liverpool says thank you very much J brought forward a little ball to mosal, no doubt, it's sideways there and then when he reverses the ball right there, he pulls it back, it's on the spot, wonderful one-two-touch football from Liverpool, it's a clinical finish from the liver.

I told the best team. In the league, in transition football from defense to attack, they do it so quickly that the opponent cannot return to defensive positions and no more than this Liverpool deserves. They have been excellent. Salah and GAP. Liverpool have a third and they do it. has daylight and Muhammad Salah, who scored more and assisted more than any other player in Europe's top leagues in 2023, is at it in 2024, set one up for Cody GPO, who couldn't miss, almost did, almost he did it, he tried to play in The first time his right foot bounced in front of him, the goalkeeper went, he's right and the ball went to the opposite corner and Newcastle have a corner and they won't lie down here, well, they won, but I'm just looking at the The statistics were two straight shots.

I think B tonight, obviously, One On Target, they haven't really had much progress, a long stick with the corner and there's a big jump and a goal for Newcastle. It's a really, really good header. and suddenly 3-2 Sven Botman appeared in the crowd showed great hunger, great desire and Newcastle came back, yes they are certainly back here, he said how good they are with the hate they have received for this team, this is Hall. He actually hit Gordon and Mallister took the ball and Mallister put forward for Dio J who ran towards the goal and Diego J just can't stop scoring for Liverpool and Deka, when he knocks him down and Liverpool have another penalty, see there , the goalkeeper catches. the Liverpool man on the foot it's the rainiest night it's the slipperiest surface Salah for Liverpool seals it in style goodbye for now Muhammad Salah it's been an absolute pleasure we can't wait to have you back oh what an ending Ace great morale ending just he baited and waited safely with his left foot in the corner he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way absolute joy in the stadium from the Liverpool fans they are going to miss this guy, he has been such an influential player for as long as he has been around We're going to miss his goals here, we're going to miss that smile, that's Gomez, that's Grenberg, a half-hearted attempt to stop him from Gorden and here's Salah, can he really come out in style?

Muhammad Salah for Liverpool and Dogo score well. I'll be furious that he didn't get a hattick there and he'll be mad that he didn't get his usual stoppage time. Was he a little greedy for Sal? He has done very well, although I thought he could have done it. He left it in J's way. There have been some real classics between Liverpool and Newcastle United over the years, but Newcastle United 4-2 actually makes the game look a lot closer than it was. They are at the top of the Premier League. Liverpool four Lucas United 2
