Darwin Nunez got back to his scoring ways with a powerful strike from close-range to hand Liverpool the lead at St. James’ Park.
Trent Alexander-Arnold caught the run of his electric teammate with a wonderful pass that was superbly controlled just ahead of the 18-yard-box before being thundered into the net with power.
The Uruguayan international’s effort had been the subject of a VAR check after allegations of handball against the 23-year-old, though the goal was fortunately approved.
