Jurgen Klopp Liverpool Pre-Match Newcastle EPL

Nick Pope’s Carabao Cup final dream went up in smoke as Liverpool put themselves back into the race for the top four with a 2-0 win at Newcastle.

The England goalkeeper was dismissed 22 minutes into a pulsating Premier League contest at St James’ Park for handling the ball outside his penalty area and will be suspended for Sunday’s clash with Manchester United at Wembley.

Newcastle’s hopes of extending their unbeaten league run to a club-record 18 games had taken a hit earlier in the game as goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo inside the opening 17 minutes gave the visitors an comfortbale lead.

Liverpool remain the only side to beat Newcastle in the league this season and ruthlessly exploited the space behind central defenders Fabian Schar and Sven Botman to run out 2-0 winners.

Victory saw Jurgen Klopp’s side move just six points behind their fourth-placed opponents with a game in hand.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

78 mins: I don’t think it’s too outrageous to say that Newcastle deserve a goal. They’ve kept going, kept attacking and have made Liverpool nervous on a few occasions since going down to 10-men.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

75 mins: Oh close! Andy Robertson brings the ball up the pitch before knocking it wide to Diogo Jota. Jota sends the ball into the feet of Elliott who slides it into the box for Robertson.

It’s all fast, slick play and Newcastle are cut open. Robertson should shoot but tries to set up Salah and misplaces the pass meaning the chance goes begging.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

72 mins: Joelinton pulls up with a niggle to his right hamstring. He wants to play on for Newcastle but Eddie Howe is having none of it.

Joelinton is too important for Newcastle and the manager will have an eye on the Carabao Cup final next week. Matt Richie comes on to replace him.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

69 mins: Harvey Elliott is fed the ball on the inside right by Fabinho. With 10-men Newcastle can’t press him and drop back allowing the midfielder to shoot from range.

He curls a decent effort at goal but Martin Dubravka clings onto it with ease.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

66 mins: Eddie Howe brings on three substitutions. Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon, and Jacob Murphy all come on to replace Miguel Almiron, Kieran Trippier and Alexander Isak.

These seem like changes to protect Newcastle’s key players ahead of next week’s Carabao Cup final.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

63 mins: A scrappy clearance from Newcastle bounces through midfield and comes to the feet of Allan Saint-Maximin. He carries the ball towards goal but is forced over to the left side of the box by Liverpool’s back tracking defence.

Undeterred, Saint-Maximin gets off a shot that continues to rise and flies over the crossbar.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

60 mins: Jurgen Klopp makes a quadruple substitution for Liverpool. Roberto Firmino, Harvey Elliott, James Milner and Diogo Jota all come on to replace Stefan Bajcetic, Darwin Nunez, Jordan Henderson and Cody Gakpo.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

57 mins: Save! Liverpool are under pressure on the edge of their own box but Fabinho wins the ball and pokes it to Jordan Henderson.

He feeds it out to Darwin Nunez who counter-attacks and drives up the pitch. Nunez cuts inside and drills a low effort at goal but Martin Dubravka leaps across and pushes the ball wide!

54 mins: Isak makes another good run towards the ball as Dan Burn curls a forward pass up the pitch. Virgil van Dijk has to come across to beat the forward to the loose ball and takes no chances with clearance, nodding the ball out for a corner.
