This was a surprising result following how late Newcastle equalized and it would have been easier to have ruled the game off as a draw. Liverpool didn’t play at their best today, the red card was all it took to give them the advantage but even then, Newcastle was such a challenge in the end, they just were unable to take the lead or hold the game in a draw. Ekitike has gone to be such a force in Liverpool, has scored in both Liverpool games thus far.
It was a bit surprising to see Newcastle's efforts throughout the match, when almost all of us predicted Liverpool would win easily but in fact Newcastle almost equalized the score and yeah luck was on Liverpool side. I also didn't expect Liverpool to play all their mainstay players because at first I thought they would save some players for the more important match next week it turns out the coach doesn't want to take any risks and wants to ensure 3 points today, it works.
Next week we will see who is the strongest team in the EPL It is possible that the winner between Liverpool and Arsenal will take over the standings, also the fight between their new players who are labeled as expensive players.
