Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle put them 13 points clear at the top of the table, continuing their run for the Premier League title. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the eleventh minute with a scuffed strike past Nick Pope, and manager Arne Slot, who had just started his two-game touchline ban, watched from the stands. “We’re going to win the league” chants from the Kop were heard after Alexis Mac Allister swept Mohamed Salah’s pass high into the left corner, adding to the exuberant atmosphere in the second half. Up front, the visitors had no clinical advantage. Their leading scorer this season, Alexander Isak, missed time due to a groin injury.
