Liverpool eased past Newcastle United with goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Here are the best photos from Anfield on a cold Saturday afternoon.
Mohamed Salah was on target yet again as the Egyptian international finished well after being played in by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain following some good work from the midfielder.
Liverpool made it 2-0 shortly after half-time as Sadio Mane fired home after being found by a superb through-ball from Roberto Firmino following some great play from the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp’s men continued to dominate and had chances to further enhance the score-line but they had to settle for two as they eased to a comfortable victory.
The win sees Liverpool leapfrog Tottenham and Manchester United in to second place ahead of the Red Devils’ clash with Crystal Palace on Monday night.
