League position: 14th This was Newcastle United's tenth home defeat in this Premier League season; their most in a league season since 1988-89 in League Division One. This was the first game to be played at St James' Park on a Saturday evening. Christian Atsu scored his first goal in his last 40 appearances in the Premier League since scoring at West Ham United on 23 December 2017. Salomón Rondón had now scored ten or more goals in a season in the Premier League for the first time. This was Rafael Benítez's 100th defeat in the Premier League in his managerial career.

Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now equalled their club record for the most away wins in a season in the top division; also 13 in 2008-09 under Rafael Benítez. With one game to play, the Reds had now accrued 94 points in this Premier League season. Only Manchester City (100 in 2017-18) and Chelsea (95 in 2004-15) had taken more points to become the champions. They had now won their last eight games in the Premier League (scored 23, conceded seven). Mohamed Salah had now scored 100 goals in Europe’s top divisions; 56 in the Premier League, 35 in Italy’s Serie A and nine in the Swiss Super League.
