Liverpool strengthened their grip on the Premier League title race with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United, moving 13 points clear at the summit. Arne Slot’s side has now scored at least twice in their last 18 home games.
Newcastle, missing key striker Alexander Isak due to a groin injury, struggled to threaten the Reds. Despite Slot serving a touchline ban, Liverpool asserted control early, with Dominik Szoboszlai opening the scoring in the 11th minute after a well-placed pass from Luis Díaz.
The visitors had a rare chance when Callum Wilson raced through on goal, but his effort sailed wide. Szoboszlai nearly doubled the lead before halftime, but his shot drifted just past the post.
Liverpool sealed the win in the 63rd minute when Alexis Mac Allister capitalized on a midfield error, exchanging passes with Mohamed Salah before drilling a powerful strike past Nick Pope.
Despite missing a few late chances, the Reds cruised to victory, while Newcastle suffered their fourth defeat in six league games. With Liverpool’s title charge gathering momentum, the gap at the top continues to widen.
