Comments:

League position: 5th Liverpool had now accumulated 202 Premier League points under manager Brendan Rodgers. Since Boxing Day, the Reds had now earned 35 points from 15 Premier League games; four more than leaders and champions-elect Chelsea. Liverpool were now unbeaten, and scored at least one goal, in their last 20 home Premier League matches against Newcastle United. The Reds had now won more home games against the Magpies (17) than against any other team in Premier League history. Liverpool had now scored 86 goals against United in the Premier League; the most they have scored against any club in the competition. Newcastle now matched Aston Villa as the team that the Reds had gained most Premier League wins against (24). Joe Allen's strike meant that Newcastle United had become the first team to concede 50 Premier League goals at Anfield.

League position: 13th This was Newcastle United's 800th game in the Premier League, the eighth club to reach this milestone. The Toon had now lost each of their last seven Premier League games in the month of April. The run that started with a 6-0 defeat to Liverpool in 2013, which was their heaviest home defeat since 1925. United's last Premier League win at Anfield was a 2-0 victory on 16 April 1994 when Rob Lee and Andrew Cole scored their goals. The Magpies had now lost their last five games (all Premier League) and scored only one goal in that sequence. Moussa Sissoko's dismissal meant that six Toon players had been sent-off in their last six Premier League meetings with Liverpool. In the Premier League era, they have now had a total of 12 red cards against the Reds.
