Liverpool beats Newcastle to go 13 points clear
Liverpool moved 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at a jubilant Anfield.
Overseen in the dugout by Johnny Heitinga, with manager Arne Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff serving touchline bans, the league leader took another significant step towards a much-anticipated title with only 10 matches to play.
While Szoboszlai was perhaps the star of the show, Mohamed Salah was again influential, this time without scoring as he teed up Mac Allister's clinching strike.
Liverpool did not have it all its own way before then, but Newcastle's hopes of dealing a blow to its upcoming Carabao Cup final opponent was hampered by the absence of top goalscorer Alexander Isak due to a groin issue.
Eddie Howe's men are left sixth, three points off the top four in a Champions League chase that now looks rather tighter than Liverpool's title fight.
