DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI and Alexis Mac Allister drilled Liverpool 13 points clear as Newcastle missed star striker Alexander Isak.
Lively Reds frontman Mo Salah provided one of the assists as dodgy defending only made things worse for the outplayed Magpies.

The title already looks in the bag for Arne Slot in his first season in charge, especially as below-par Arsenal were held 0-0 at Nottingham Forest.
Luis Diaz and Salah consistently troubled a Newcastle side stuck in second gear.
And in the closing minutes Slot was able to take off Ryan Gravenberch and Trent Alexander-Arnold, perhaps with one eyes on PSV next week.
On came Wataru Endo and Jarell Quansah as the Reds eased home.
And Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo even got the ball in the net in stoppage time, but it was ruled out for a foul on keeper Nick Pope by Ibrahima Konate.
