Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Liverpool FC gets underway.
- 5' Newcastle United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Liverpool FC and Newcastle United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 11' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Dejan Lovren makes it 1-0.
- 16' The 27-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
- 21' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 26' It’s high time Jurgen Klopp made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 31' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 36' The travelling Newcastle United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 41' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 46' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 47' GOAL! Mohamed Salah scores on 47.
- 52' Jamaal Lascelles has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 57' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rafael Benitez might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 62' A change in the Liverpool FC ranks — Georginio Wijnaldum exits the field as Fabinho enters on 62.
- 67' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Xherdan Shaqiri suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' Daniel Sturridge has so much to prove this time. He replaces Roberto Firmino on 69 minute.
- 73' The supporters are chanting for Sean Longstaff. He replaces Kenedy on 73 minute.
- 78' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Roberto Firmino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 79' Assisted by Trent Alexander-Arnold with the perfectly-timed delivery and Xherdan Shaqiri makes no mistake. 3-0!
- 81' Jacob Murphy gets the nod from Newcastle United FC. He replaces Matt Ritchie and will look to change the dynamic.
- 82' It is a substitution in Liverpool FC team. Andrew Robertson is replaced by Nathaniel Clyne on 82 minute.
- 85' What a moment for Fabinho! That strike on 85 puts his side firmly in control.
- 90' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 4-0 the final result. Newcastle United FC will be bitterly disappointed.
