Dominik Szoboszlai’s team, leader Liverpool, won 4-2 against visiting Newcastle United in the New Year’s match of the 20th round of the English football championship.
The main character of the Reds, who played with a huge advantage throughout, was Mohamed Szalah, who first scored 11 in the first half, then scored two goals – the second from a penalty – and set up a goal. Szoboszlai was a member of the starting team, then he was replaced in the 64th minute, when he left the field holding his thigh and with a pained face.
Liverpool remained unbeaten in their 13th league game in a row, while Newcastle lost for the third time in a row.
