Review of the match Liverpool - Newcastle



Experts and analysts agree that one of the destinations of the Premier League trophy may well be the stadium Anfield in Liverpool. The title club from the last forces fighting for the title of champion and the last match of Liverpool against Newcastle United proved it. With this heavy and late victory, the club won first place in the championship standings, and Divok Origi repeated his role as the savior of a team that never gives up.
The Belgian forward was only on the field after Mohamed Salah's injury, Salah facing the Newcastle goalkeeper and being carried off the field. Liverpool's chances of winning have diminished by the minute after losing the leading striker. Decisive Newcastle have already scored two goals, but Origi's strike saved the situation and brought the team to the top line of the top.
Liverpool and City go nose to nose in it: 29 wins for Liverpool, 30 for Manchester, 92 and 94 points, respectively. This remarkable showdown in an exciting title race and intrigue will last until the last day of the Premier League.
For Klopp's team, coming out on top after an agonising effort at Barcelona on Wednesday (Champions League), after losing Salah and just four minutes from a devastating draw, is a testament to the depth of both the club's mental and physical resources. Klopp has confirmed Roberto Firmino will miss the second semi-final due to muscle problems, Salah's involvement remains in question but Liverpool's determination is not diminishing.
For the first 20 minutes, the Liverpool had full control of Newcastle's desperately defending team.
Salah was sharp from the start and approached goal twice before Liverpool struck their first strike. Midfielder Matt Ritchie took Salah's second attempt to score the ball, but Virgil van Dijk - like a textbook - scored his sixth goal in the championship.
The Liverpool coach demanded that the players keep their concentration, but Newcastle seemed to wake up and change the course of the game: during the most difficult draw, Krustian Atsu scores the return ball. After just 8 minutes, Mohamed Salah scores a goal against Newcastle. This is 22 goals scored by the Egyptian in the season.
In the second period, Jose Rondon equalises the score, his strength and pace of play prompting Newcastle to go forward. The score was 2-2 lasted an excruciating 32 minutes until 4 minutes before the end of the match Origi blew the stadium with a goal against Newcastle.
