'I've been waiting for that type of goal for five years!': Trent Alexander-Arnold overjoyed as his THUNDEROUS long-range strike helps Liverpool clinch 3-1 win over Newcastle and stay hot on Manchester City's heels in second

Trent Alexander-Arnold powered Liverpool to a 3-1 win over Newcastle with a thunderous long-range strike and then admitted: 'I've been waiting for that for five years!'

Jurgen Klopp's side came from behind to pick up a precious set of three points in their pursuit of Premier League leaders and champions Manchester City, having fallen a goal down when ex-Red Jonjo Shelvey broke the deadlock in the seventh minute at Anfield.

But the hosts only needed 14 minutes to draw level through Diogo Jota, who tapped home from close range to cancel out Shelvey's opener, before Mohamed Salah edged them in front four minutes later.
