Comments:

League position: 15th . Newcastle United had now lost their first home game for the first time in the last four seasons in the Premier League (won three). . The Magpies had now lost six of their last 28 home games in the Premier League (won 16). . They avoided failing to score in four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2020. . Anthony Gordon was shown a yellow card in the 45th minute but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review. . Fabian Schär’s replacement in the 81st minute was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make six substitutions during the game.

Comments:

League position: 3rd . Liverpool had now won two of their last five away games in the Premier League (lost three). . They had now equalled their club record of scoring in 36 consecutive games in the top division, set in February 2020 in the Premier League. . Aged 16 years and 361 days, Rio Ngumoha became the Reds’ youngest-ever goalscorer in all competitions; previously Ben Woodburn versus Leeds United in the League Cup on 29 November 2016 (17 years and 45 days). . Hugo Ekitike’s goal was timed at 23 seconds after the restart of the second half.
