Liverpool Vs Newcastle Utd: Reds Stay Clear At The Top After 2-0 Win

It feels like a matter of when, not if, Liverpool seals a record-equalling 20th English league title. The gap at the top of the Premier League was extended to 13 points on Wednesday after a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. Liverpool took full advantage as second-place Arsenal dropped more points in a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest. Dominik Szoboszlai scored in the 11th minute and Alexis Mac Allister netted just past the hour mark at Anfield to secure a 20th league win of the season from 28 games. Title success would see Liverpool equal Manchester United's record haul.
