Newcastle vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction after Reds beat 10-man Newcastle

51 mins: Chance! Massive moment for Newcastle. Sean Longstaff gives the ball to Kieran Trippier who slides it down the right wing for Allan Saint-Maximin.

The winger takes on two Liverpool defenders before picking out Alexander Isak in the box. Isak controls the ball and shoots on the swivel but pushes his effort wide of the target.

48 mins: There’s been no further changes from any of the managers. Nick Pope has been sent off for Newcastle so Martin Dubravka replaced Elliot Anderson to take up the goalkeeping position for the hosts.

Sean Longstaff takes a knock to the head in a collision but is okay to play on.

Newcastle get the match restarted at St. James’ Park. Sven Botman works the ball over to the left wing where is bounces kindly for Alexander Isak.

He takes the ball into the box, lays it off then nods down the pass when it comes back to him. He’s looking for Kieran Trippier but Alisson is off his line quickly to smother it.

There’s talent and skill in Newcastle’s team. All the players will want to impress and earn a spot in the Carabao Cup final team next week.

Miguel Almiron, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Alexander Isak will all be hoping to score in the second half. If Newcastle score next they could get something from this game despite being down to 10-men.

Liverpool’s defending hasn’t been great so far.

Loris Karius could make his Newcastle United debut in the Carabao Cup final after first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope picked up a red card in the Premier League.

Pope was sent off for handling outside his area in Newcastle’s match with Liverpool, meaning he will be suspended for the final at Wembley against Manchester United next weekend.

Second-choice goalkeeper Martin Dubravka played for Manchester United in the competition’s earlier rounds while on loan at Old Trafford, so he is cup-tied and cannot play for another club.

It leaves Newcastle manager Eddie Howe with a choice of Karius or fellow back-up option Mark Gillespie.

The red card incident. What was Nick Pope thinking here?

45+4 mins: That was a 45 minutes that could not have gone much worse for Newcastle. After starting well and looking the most likely team to open the scoring Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez combined to cut the home side in half and opening the scoring

A second Liverpool goal quickly followed as Cody Gakpo double his tally for the Reds before Nick Pope succumbed to a moment of madess and got himself sent off.

Still, it’s not all bleak for Eddie Howe’s men. Allan Saint-Maximin and Dan Burn have both come close to scoring but they’ll need to get the next goal if they hope to achieve a remarkable comeback.

45 mins: Four minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half.

43 mins: Save! Alisson has arguably been Liverpool’s best player today. Newcastle admirably continue to put pressure on Liverpool and win a corner.

It gets whipped onto the head of Dan Burn who powers one at goal only for the Brazilian to palm the ball over the bar

40 mins: The free kick is taken by Jordan Henderson who rolls it across to Mo Salah. Salah the shoots but drills his effort into the wall and Newcastle work it away.
