Alan Kennedy reacts to Liverpool win vs Newcastle

Liverpool maintained their 100% start to the 2019-20 Premier League campaign after winning 3-1 against Newcastle United at Anfield on Saturday.

The visitors took an early lead in the seventh minute when wing-back Jetro Willems curled a fine shot past Reds’ goalkeeper Adrian.

Liverpool responded quickly and made it 2-1 at the break, thanks to two goals from Sadio Mane.

Newcastle’s Emil Krafth came close to scoring in the second half, but apart from that the home side were rarely troubled.

In the 72nd minute, Mohamed Salah extended the lead with a cool finish following a brilliant assist by Roberto Firmino.
