Liverpool 4-0 Newcastle: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Reds Comfortably Extend Unbeaten Run

Liverpool extended their unbeaten start to their 2018/19 Premier League campaign with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Liverpool got off to a flying start and opened the scoring after just ten minutes. Jamaal Lascelles failed to clear his lines from an Andrew Robertson cross and Dejan Lovren was on hand to fire a superb half-volley into the roof of the net.

The Reds dictated possession for the remainder of the first-half, but they found it difficult to break down a stubborn Newcastle defence. Xherdan Shaqiri came closest to making it two just before the interval, but his free-kick was acrobatically tipped over by Martin Dubravka.
