Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United: Mohamed Salah scores as hosts close gap at top
Mohamed Salah equalled Jamie Vardy's record of scoring or assisting in 15 successive Premier League games
Shortly before Salah's goal, which meant he equalled Jamie Vardy's record of scoring or assisting in 15 successive Premier League games, Allan Saint-Maximin wasted a chance as he was denied by Alisson. Losing Van Dijk and Fabinho made little difference to a blistering first half, in which Jota and Salah both should have had two goals each.
With Newcastle left-back Jamal Lewis withdrawn because of a hamstring injury, Salah found himself up against Matt Ritchie until he was replaced by Roberto Firmino after 74 minutes.
