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.
