Jürgen Klopp labelled Liverpool’s victory over Newcastle United as a ‘top-class performance’ after they recorded a 1-0 win at St James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.
Naby Keita’s first-half goal was enough to settle the outcome of the contest in the north east and send the Reds back to the top of the Premier League table, with Manchester City not in action until later in the day at Leeds United.
The visitors were good value for their three points, with several chances to add to their tally, and Klopp was pleased with their display having made five changes to the starting line-up.
