The Reds got off to the perfect start when Mohamed Salah swivelled and smashed the ball home inside the near post. But Newcastle reacted strongly, with Allan Saint-Maximin at the heart of a number of dangerous attacks before Sean Longstaff missed a golden chance to level the score.
Missed opportunities by Salah, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane left Klopp wondering how Liverpool didn’t score more than the single goal at the break, and they were nearly made to pay after Joelinton’s effort had to be matched by Alisson just before the hour mark.
