    GOAL - Newcastle 2-0 Liverpool

    Georginio Wijnaldum (90 mins)

    Brilliantly taken! What a great goal on the counter attack to wrap up a massive win for Newcastle.

    Moussa Sissoko shakes off Alberto Moreno on the right and it's three-on-three. Sissoko gets his head up to play a cracking pass through, it' a foot race between Georginio Wijnaldum and Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet. The Dutch midfielder wins it and clips over his head with a deft touch.

  2. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    Martin Skrtel is going to run off his neck injury. In the crowd, a topless Geordie in a scarf delights those nearby with a celebratory jig. He must be absolutely freezing...

  3. INJURY TIME

    Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    There are five minutes added on, and Martin Skrtel is down with a neck injury too. On come the medical staff, we could have more time to come yet.

  4. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    Adam Lallana with a deep cross, well defended, corner, in, not away, back in for Dejan Lovren and his header IS ON TARGET!

    An easy save for Rob Elliot but a save nonetheless. Into the last minutes...

    It's a YES from me...

    Maybe MOTD tonight should instead show one of the classic 4-3s from a time when these two teams were entertainers.

  6. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    Joe Allen drives into the area, wins a corner and Dejan Lovren heads it over the top. The last Premier League game not to have a shot on target was Everton v Spurs on 9 May 2009. You have five minutes...

  7. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    Is this to be Jurgen Klopp's second taste of defeat as Liverpool boss? It is arguably their worst showing. They have been underwhelming so far. But there's still time...

  8. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

  9. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    TIGHT CALL! Alberto Moreno is denied the goal of his life by the offside flag. James Milner pings a cross from right to left, the left-back arrives on it with a corking volley, clipped back across goal and into the top corner. He measured that to perfection but the flag was up - and he looked level to me.

  10. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    No shots on target maybe but that's one of the tackles of the season as Paul Dummett lines up a belter of a sliding challenge to stop Nathaniel Clyne in his tracks. Liverpool seeing more of the ball but still Rob Elliot hasn't had a thing to do in the Newcastle goal. 

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool look lifeless, perhaps that midweek win took it out of them? Daniel Sturridge curls a hopeful effort well off target before Divock Origi comes on for Jordon Ibe.

    Great ball from Adam Lallana sends Daniel Sturridge into the area but his first-time shot is well off course. Jurgen Klopp applauds. 

  12. Deadly from four yards

    Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    The prolific Martin Skrtel now has seven Premier League own goals - only Richard Dunne (10) has more (Jamie Carragher also has seven).

  13. Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    We still haven't had a shot on target as that was going wide apparently. St James' Park is rocking though, Newcastle above rivals Sunderland but still in the relegation zone as it stands.

    "Ayoze Perez pulled out to the back post which allowed Georginio Wijnaldum the space to get the shot in. It was definitely deflected."

    GOAL - Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool

    Martin Skrtel (Og 69 mins)

    There we go! The first real effort on goal leads to the opening strike! Moussa Sissoko flings in an early cross, Georginio Wijnaldum's first touch isn't the best and takes him wide but he recovers well to fire in a low shot which takes a hefty deflection off the thigh of Martin Skrtel and flies in.

    That will go down as an own goal.

  16. Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Steve Stone
    Former Newcastle coach and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge have completely changed this game, their pace to get in behind is making Newcastle drop deeper. This game is wide open."

  17. SUBSTITUTION

    Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Change for the hosts - Ayoze Perez on for Siem de Jong. The home crowd like that one.

  18. Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Still no shots on target for either side. Jordon Ibe tries to get one away but he is closed down and Newcastle counter, Joe Allen slides in to win it back though. A real lack of class when it matters so far.

  19. Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Can Daniel Sturridge spark this Liverpool side back into life? They have offered nothing in the second half.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool

    Jurgen Klopp has seen quite enough. Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino are off and on come Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge.

    Lallana is clattered within seconds and Papiss Cisse goes in the book.
