Liverpool vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction tonight

51 mins: Salah gets away with a poor pass inside to Henderson as Shelvey intercepts the ball and looks to play Saint-Maximin free on the counter. He overhits his forward pass though and fires the ball out of play on the left-hand side.

Hayden then tussles with Konate as he presses the ball but the Liverpool defender deals with the danger before he’s knocked to ground.

48 mins: Encouraging signs for Newcastle as Jacob Murphy gets forward on the right side and whips a cross into the box. Saint-Maximin tries to get to it but Alisson beats him to the ball and plucks it out of the air.

Kick off: Liverpool get the match back underway. The Reds haven’t lost a league game in December since 2016 when they were defeated by a Bournemouth side managed by Eddie Howe.

There hasn’t been any further changes from either side.

A new record for the Reds:

Mo Salah has never failed to score against Newcastle at Anfield, He equals Jamie Vardy’s record of scoring or creating a goal in 15 consecutive Premier League matches with what is his 15th Premier League goal of the season.

Salah has 24 Premier League goal involvements this season (15 goals, 9 assists) - in Premier League history, only Alan Shearer in 1994-95 has registered more before Christmas in a single campaign (25 - 16 goals, 9 assists).

Jonjo Shelvey’s goal was his third in the Premier League against Liverpool - of players to have previously played for the Reds in the competition, only Nicolas Anelka (5) has scored more against them after leaving.

Jonjo Shelvey opened the scoring for Newcastle with a glorious swerving strike from range that left Alisson with no chance to stop it. Diogo Jota netted the Liverpool equaliser before Mo Salah scored again to put the Reds in front.

45+2 mins: Konate wins the ball in the box but takes out Hayden in the process. Newcastle want a penalty but referee Mike Dean isn’t interested. He blows for half-time and Liverpool head into the break with the advantage.

45 mins: Two minutes of added time to play in the first half. Liverpool have come from behind to lead 2-1 but the game has at times been fairly open and Newcastle will feel there’s enough in it for them to get an equaliser if they can keep Liverpool from scoring again.
