# Four Findings: Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool

The courage and character of these Reds is something altogether different. Refusing to surrender their title dreams, Liverpool found a way to win at St. James Park and beat Newcastle 3-2.

The midweek buzzsaw that of Lionel Messi had Liverpool licking their wounds after losing in a match where they played well but were dealt a cruel blow away from home.

Returning to the isle and on the road again, the Reds found themselves in a back and forth battle that required digging deep to get the result.

Liverpool struck early with a Virgil van Dijk header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner to take the lead but then strangely surrender an equalizer within 10 minutes.

Within another 10, Mo Salah extended his league-leading scoring with his 22nd goal, turning in an Alexander-Arnold cross.

The Reds had chances to pull away but failed to finish off the Magpies and paid the price when Solomon Rondon pounced on a loose ball in the box after a corner to square the match once again.

The next half-hour saw Liverpool toil to find any advantage they could. With their season on the line and in need of a late goal, Divock Origi found the net again in the waning minutes of a match to save Liverpool’s title challenge and put the pressure back on Manchester City.

Here are four findings from the match.
