After a 4-0 victory against Newcastle on Monday, Liverpool began the year 2024 with a three-point lead in the Premier League title chase.

The Reds’ resounding triumph was far from easy; with 16 minutes remaining in the match, Newcastle had drawn level 1-1 thanks to goals from Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah.

Darwin Nunez had eight efforts on target but failed to convert on many excellent opportunities, and Salah had previously wasted a penalty in the first half.

After consecutive goals from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo, Jurgen Klopp’s team did manage to secure the victory.

Sven Botman scored an ill-advised equalizer for Newcastle, but Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah converted a controversial penalty awarded by Diogo Jota to seal the victory.

Liverpool set a new Premier League record for dominance in the match, thanks to Klopp’s squad.

They had the most shots of any Premier League team since Opta began tracking the statistics in 2010, with 34 total. Of those, 7.27 were considered goals.

“My team played a fantastic game,” Klopp exclaimed to BBC Sports after the game. Our beginning was full with energy. We all watched Dubravka, or at least we did our best to keep the score from getting out of hand.

“Greatest match. The goals we let in were the only part of the game that I didn’t enjoy.

The game was fantastic. Incredible ambiance. The focus was on football academies when it came to counter-pressing. So long as they keep an eye on it, they can keep it. It was perfect in every way.

You can’t cancel the show. There will be three training days out of the new five or six. From an innovation standpoint, it will revolutionize the world.

This is fantastic news for us,” Salah told Sky Sports. It was a nail-biter, but we came out on top thanks to the three points we earned. Maintain composure and come out on top in every game.

The Egyptiаn went оn tо sаy, “The plаyers spоke in the dressing rооm” in reference tо the squаndered оppоrtunities. Keep yоur cооl. The pen slipped my mind. Thаt wаs nоt the perfоrmаnce I wаnted tо tаke with me when I left the nаtiоnаl teаm.
