Liverpool breathed fresh life into their top-four ambitions with a ruthless 4-1 comeback victory over Newcastle United at Anfield, ending a five-game Premier League winless run and registering their first league success of 2026, Softfootball reports.
The contest began with Newcastle showing far more urgency, briefly threatening to rewrite their miserable Anfield history. Harvey Barnes came close to handing the visitors an early breakthrough when his set-piece crashed against the woodwork, setting the tone for an aggressive opening spell from Eddie Howe's side.
That early pressure paid off when Newcastle struck first on the break. A rapid transition caught Liverpool cold, and Anthony Gordon capped it with a precise right-footed finish past Alisson, giving the Magpies a deserved lead and momentarily silencing the Kop.
