Liverpool extended their Premier League lead to 13 points with a 2-0 win over Newcastle at Anfield. Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister secured victory as Arsenal dropped points. Despite missing Alexander Isak, Newcastle threatened but couldn’t break through, while Liverpool’s dominance continues in their title charge.
Liverpool tightened their grip on the Premier League title race with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle at Anfield, moving 13 points clear at the summit after Arsenal were held to a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
The hosts struck early, with Dominik Szoboszlai finding the net in the 11th minute. His left-footed strike took a slight deflection, deceiving Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope. The Magpies, missing their top scorer Alexander Isak due to injury, relied on Callum Wilson to lead the attack, but the striker struggled to make an impact.
Newcastle had a golden opportunity to equalize, but Wilson failed to capitalize when put through on goal. Liverpool made them pay in the second half as Alexis Mac Allister doubled the lead with a well-placed finish. Despite Newcastle's attempts to fight back, they were unable to break through a disciplined Liverpool defense.
With head coach Arne Slot watching from the stands due to a touchline ban, Liverpool dominated proceedings, showing the resilience and quality of a title-winning side. Mohamed Salah was once again a key figure, creating chances until the final moments.
Liverpool’s unbeaten home form continues, with this being their 18th consecutive home game scoring at least twice. As the season progresses, their path to reclaiming the league title appears increasingly certain. Newcastle, on the other hand, will need to regroup ahead of their next fixture as they push for a European spot.
