    FT: Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool!! Wow, what a game that was! Liverpool started the second half well and 1-2 up, but Rondon equalised. It then looked like it would stay as a draw especially when Salah went off on a stretcher, but his substitute, Origi, had other ideas to clinch the winning goal. Newcastle put up a great show and I think they deserved a draw. Liverpool are delighted and this title race is still very much alive. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
  • 98'
    Last chance for Newcastle, Perez loses it, but Liverpool loses it again. Ki passes, the hosts put another ball in which is cleared. It's all over!
  • 97'
    Rondon is penalised for a foul on Van Dijk. Rondon waves his arms dismissively. He doesn't like the call one bit.
  • 97'
    Ki takes it, the ball goes up in the air, Alisson punches away and then Newcastle claim half-heartedly for a pen on the second ball.
  • 96'
    Newcastle get a corner!
  • 96'
    Liverpool still in front here. 2 minutes left.
  • 95'
    Ball launched into the Liverpool box. More hopeful than anything else and Alisson catches it.
  • 94'
    Shaqiri tries to find Mane, but it's intercepted. Newcastle race up the other end and Muto is flagged for offside.
  • 93'
    Lots of build up, but the free-kick by Rondon strikes the wall.
  • 93'
    This is a cracking game.

de Liverpool en el 86'
  • 86'
    He'll be even angrier now!! Origi gets on the end of Alexander-Arnold's free-kick and he heads it home! Dubravka didn't know whether to come out or stay on his line and ended up in no man's land. In fact the ball may also touch Lascelles. In any case, Liverpool lead.
  • 85'
    Fabinho goes down on the far side and gets a free-kick. Ritchie is fuming with the linesman for awarding it. Looked a tad soft.
  • 85'
    Origi goes up the other end and his cross in from the near side goes for a corner. Nothing from it.
  • 84'
    Atsu goes into the area, but Alexander-Arnold puts him off just as he's about to shoot.

  • 83'
    Liverpool sub: Lovren leaves the field and Milner is on.
  • 83'
    Remember we will have at least 7 added minutes.
  • 82'
    A draw is bad for Liverpool, but a loss would be disastrous. Should they stick or twist? I think they will do the latter.
  • 81'
    Liverpool get a free-kick in midfield, they try to take it too quickly and waste it.
  • 80'
    Dangerous ball in now by Ritchie and Alisson has to come out to punch clear.
  • 77'
    Liverpool looking for a goal here, but unable to find the breakthrough.
  • 75'
    Ki is down now! Sturridge catches him with a stray arm to the face. Could have been a yellow. He has now gone to the touchline.

at Liverpool
  • 73'
    Liverpool sub: Origi replaces Salah. Salah has gone straight down the tunnel and maybe to hospital.
  • 73'
    All the fans give the Egyptian a round of applause as he leaves the field.
  • 72'
    He seems to have taken a terrible blow to his head. He is in tears on the stretcher.
  • 70'
    The stretcher is coming on. Not good to see.
  • 68'
    A long ball is sent in for Salah, Dubravka comes out to punch away and his body crashes into Salah, who requires treatment. The goalie only had eyes for the ball.
  • 65'
    Liverpool sub: Xhaqiri comes on for Wijnaldum.
  • 63'
    Robertson plays a ball across the box and a teammate is just unable to reach it.
  • 62'
    Brilliant play now by Ayoze Perez deep in Liverpool territory, but the defence force him out.
  • 60'
    Mane is flagged offside. Was off.
  • 58'
    Newcastle have been clinical this evening and they look dangerous as well.
  • 56'
    Liverpool are now back on the attack knowing they need a goal. A draw today would mean City could go three points clear going into the final day. City's GD is only slightly better, but Brighton have nothing to play for on the last day and City would only need a draw. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though.

Goaaaaaal!
de Newcastle en el 54'

    It's 2-2!!!! Ki delivers the ball in, it is half-cleared by Sturridge to a Newcastle man on the edge of the box, who heads it back to Rondon and the Venezuelan hits a powerful strike past Alisson.
  • 53'
    Robertson heads out for a corner! Atsu put in the cross.
  • 51'
    Liverpool have another go and Henderson nearly makes it 1-3!
  • 50'
    What did Sturridge do? Mane lays it off to Wijnaldum, he then passes to Sturridge who completely miscues his effort.
  • 49'
    Chance for Newcastle! Rondon hits a straight at Alisson after turning inside.
  • 47'
    Robertson sends in a cross which was looking for Mane and Sturridge! Lascelles gets their first though and heads it out for a corner which is cleared.
  • 47'
    A ball is sent through for Wijnaldum, but it is cut out by a Newcastle man for a throw.
  • 46'
    Liverpool get us back underway! No changes.
  • 45'
    Welcome back, everyone! The second half is about to start. We are just waiting for Newcastle to emerge.
  • 45'
    HT: Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool!! That was exciting! Van Dijk gave Liverpool the lead with a header, Atsu levelled the scores before Salah put Liverpool back in front. Klopp's side have been the better team except for the period between 1-1 and 1-2 when Newcastle were very dangerous and even hit the bar. Liverpool won't have this all their own way in the second 45. Join us in a few for the conclusion!

  • 31'
    This game is very open. I think there will be more goals here.
Goal

de Liverpool en el 28'
  • 28'
    Liverpool go back in front! Alexander-Arnold throws to Mane, he runs out of space by the by-line and back heels it to AA. His cross is sensational and Salah hits it with his right foot into the bottom right corner. And Newcastle were on top.
  • 26'
    Off the bar! Ayoze Perez hits the bar with a stunning shot! Alisson got a touch a think! A long ball is headed back by Atsu to the Spaniard, who controls inside the box and fires.

  • 23'
    Manquillo heads a cross at the far post straight at Alisson now! Newcastle have been lifted.
  • 21'
    It should have been a yellow for Alexander-Arnold. If Newcastle hadn't scored it should have a red and a penalty. I'm not sure whether Marriner would have given it.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Newcastle en el 20'
  • 20'
    Just like that, Newcastle level! Christian Atsu nets! Manquillo plays a one-two with Ayoze on the far side, Manquillo's cross in tries to find Rondon, it beats him and falls to Ritchie at the back stick, he passes to Rondon whose shot is blocked by Alexander-Arnold's arm on the line, but Atsu taps in the rebound.
  • 18'
    Newcastle are struggling to string any meaningful passes together. Liverpool are very comfortable.

    Virgil Van Dijk scores! Alexander-Arnold delivers the corner and Van Dijk is completely unmarked at the far post and he beats Dubravka with a powerful header from the edge of the six-yard box. Been coming.
  • 12'
    Salah fires a shot from a Mane cross and it is deflected for a corner.
  • 11'
    Salah fires wide! Mane is given the ball in space, the Senegalese in the area is dispossessed by Schar. Schar then handed the ball straight back to the visitors on the edge of the box. Salah got on the end of the cross, but fired wide. Think he used his hand as well.
  • 9'
