# Who was Liverpool’s best player against Newcastle?

If Liverpool are to go down they are going to go down swinging. It was a tough game but Liverpool win it narrowly at St. James’ Park 3-2 viva a late Divock Origi winner.

Virgil van Dijk got the Reds rolling early with a free header as it looked like Liverpool would win it comfortably but Newcastle fought back well. Christain Atsu made it 1-1 a few minutes later before Salah restored Liverpool’s lead at the half-hour mark.

Salomón Rondón made it 2-2 after the break and from there the game was on a knives edge. A Salah injury made the task 100% tougher but in the end, Origi popped up with the winner to take the title decision to the final day.

It was a difficult game but a lot of Reds were great on Saturday night, but who was the best?

Simply select which of the players shown below you think had the better game and go ‘winner-stays-on’ style until the end.
