Jurgen Klopp Liverpool Pre-Match Newcastle EPL

Nick Pope’s Carabao Cup final dream went up in smoke as Liverpool put themselves back into the race for the top four with a 2-0 win at Newcastle.

The England goalkeeper was dismissed 22 minutes into a pulsating Premier League contest at St James’ Park for handling the ball outside his penalty area and will be suspended for Sunday’s clash with Manchester United at Wembley.

Newcastle’s hopes of extending their unbeaten league run to a club-record 18 games had taken a hit earlier in the game as goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo inside the opening 17 minutes gave the visitors an comfortbale lead.

Liverpool remain the only side to beat Newcastle in the league this season and ruthlessly exploited the space behind central defenders Fabian Schar and Sven Botman to run out 2-0 winners.

Victory saw Jurgen Klopp’s side move just six points behind their fourth-placed opponents with a game in hand.

Relive the action as Liverpool defeated Newcastle at St. James’ Park:

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

37 mins: Liverpool defend and clear the lines by booting the ball up to Mo Salah. He storms through the middle and links-up a one-two with Darwin Nunez.

Miguel Almiron sprints back to help out defend and brings Salah down just outside the penalty area.

Almiron is booked and Liverpool have a free kick in a dangerous area.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

34 mins: Nice pressure from Newcastle as they get men up the pitch. Joelinton flicks the ball over to Saint-Maximin on the left wing. He plays it inside to Dan Burn whose cross wins the hosts a corner.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

31 mins: Liverpool will see this as a massive opportunity. Not only to win the game, which they should from this position, but to rediscover some form and take that into their next few games.

Save! A long ball comes down the right wing and is controlled well by Allan Saint-Maximin. He weaves into the box and fizzes a shot at Alisson who palms it over the crossbar.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

28 mins: That was Nick Pope’s first red card in his 163 Premier League appearances. Not only does it cost Newcastle a man in this match but Pope won’t be available for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United next weekend.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

25 mins: Newcastle are down to 10-men and Elliot Anderson has been sacrificed to bring on Martin Dubravka. He goes in goal in the absence of Nick Pope.

Liverpool are in total control of this match now.

Red card! Nick Pope is off!

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

22 mins: From the Newcastle free kick Alisson claims the ball and belts it up the pitch towards Mo Salah. Salah chases after the ball as Nick Pope comes flying out from goal.

He flings himself at the ball, nods it down, then scoops it up with his hands and the referee has no option but to pull out the red card.

It’s a moment of madness from Pope.

Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool

20 mins: Elliot Anderson gets away from Stefan Bajcetic on Newcastle’s left wing before cutting inside and getting taken out but a diving, sliding Fabinho who earns himself a yellow card.

Kieran Trippier whips the free kick into the box but Alisson comes out to claim the ball.

GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool (Gakpo, 17’)⚽️

17 mins: This is the Liverpool of old! Cody Gakpo starts the move with the ball out wide on the left. He comes inside and lays the ball to Fabinho.

Fabinho slots it up to Mo Salah who dinks the ball over the Newcastle back line and finds Gakpo who’s continued his run. Gakpo keeps himself onside - just - takes a touch then hooks it past Nick Pope.

Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool

16 mins: Liverpool are coming alive. Mo Salah slips into the box but loses possession. The ball comes out to Jordan Henderson who rolls it over to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold’s low curling cross bounces over to the far post but Kieran Trippier is on hand to turn it out for a corner.

The home side then defend it without too much trouble.

Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool

13 mins: That goal has come against the run of play but Liverpool have so much attacking talent that they’re always a threat. The goal won’t change things for Newcastle yet. They’ll still take the game to Liverpool and now look for an equaliser.
