Source publication date:
Liverpool recovered from conceding first to beat Newcastle United 4-1 at Anfield. Hugo Ekitike scored in the 41st and 43rd minutes, overturning Anthony Gordon’s 36th-minute opener before the interval.
Florian Wirtz supplied Ekitike’s first goal and later finished a Mohamed Salah pass to extend the lead. Ibrahima Konate marked his return to the starting side with a fourth goal in stoppage time.
The result moved Liverpool within one point of fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League. Arne Slot had restored Konate and Milos Kerkez to the team after the midweek Champions League match, and 60,416 spectators watched the home victory.
