Liverpool took a significant stride towards clinching the Premier League title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield, extending their lead at the summit to 13 points. Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister secured the win, as head coach Arne Slot observed from the stands due to his two-match touchline ban.
The Reds, buoyed by their recent triumph over reigning champions Manchester City, started assertively. Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the 11th minute, capitalizing on a precise cutback from Luis DÃaz to slot the ball past goalkeeper Nick Pope. Despite Newcastle’s efforts, including a missed opportunity by Callum Wilson, Liverpool maintained control. Mac Allister doubled the advantage in the second half, finishing a well-crafted move involving Mohamed Salah.
This victory not only underscores Liverpool’s dominance this season but also highlights their offensive prowess, having scored at least twice in each of their last 18 home games across all competitions. With 10 matches remaining, the Reds appear poised to secure their 20th league title, leaving rivals in their wake.
