Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister gave Liverpool their latest victory, while second-placed Arsenal fell further off the pace after a draw with Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The match started in torrential rain but it did not dampen Liverpool\u2019s enthusiasm to leave an early mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The bright start was rewarded with the 100th goal of the 2024-25 campaign \u2013 Szoboszlai taking that tally to three figures with his seventh contribution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Diaz charged down the left flank and found the No.8 stationed in the centre of the Newcastle box, with the stroked first-time finish taking a nick on the way to beating Nick Pope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Both sides had adopted a front-footed approach, making it a physical and hectic affair. Tsimikas blazed high and wide with a right-footed shot inside the penalty area just before the visitors worked their best chance of the half, according to Liverpool report.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Callum Wilson had been sent through and evaded the offside trap but was off-target with his strike when bearing down on Alisson Becker\u2019s goal. The Reds nearly added to the lead prior to the break with curling efforts from Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was stop-start after the interval owing to several injury breaks but the hosts made the most of their first real opening of the period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mac Allister started the move by winning possession high up the pitch and finished it with a lovely lifted sweep into the far corner of the Kop-end net in the 63rd minute. In between, Salah had received a pass from the driving Argentinian and held the ball up before laying off to the goalscorer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Alisson preserved his side\u2019s two-goal cushion by palming away a deflected cross, and that save sparked a Liverpool breakaway, which ended with a sliding Diaz poking wide from an exquisite outside-of-the-boot delivery from Salah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
