Liverpool claimed an important win over Newcastle in the Premier League and went 13 points clear of Arsenal.
The title race seems to be over after Arsenal were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The Reds took advantage of the Gunners’ slip, defeating Newcastle 2-0 at Anfield in the race for the EPL title.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has faced a fair share of criticism for his links to Liverpool; for a former Reds star, however, the defender’s ambition is understandable.

Arne Slot has criticised a Liverpool player for his lack of work rate, raising doubts about said player’s future at Anfield.
As it happened
Arne Slot, who was absent from the touchline tonight, made two changes to his Liverpool side that beat defending champions Manchester City on Sunday.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, on the other hand, made two alterations as their top scorer Alexander Isak missed out with a groin problem.
The in-form Liverpool took the lead in the 11th minute of the game when Luis Diaz cut back found Dominik Szoboszlai, who scored from 10 yards out.

Entering the second half, Newcastle looked like they could get an equaliser, but it was Liverpool who doubled their lead after a nice piece of play from Mohamed Salah landed on Alexis MacAllister’s feet before he struck the ball into the net.
The win puts Liverpool in a firm position to win the EPL, with Arsenal now far behind the league leaders.
