    Liverpool have lost just one Premier League match in which Trent Alexander-Arnold has scored in (W8 L1), excluding this imminent win...

    Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle

    A dead rubber of an extra four minutes really. We're halfway through it.

    Four minutes added on. That TAA goal ended any potential for late drama.

    That's my three Liverpool players in fantasy football on the scoresheet tonight. Nearly makes up for all the players I'm missing...

    GOAL - Liverpool 3-1 Newcastlepublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Trent Alexander-Arnold (87 mins)

    Woof.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold gets the ball 25 yards out and hammers in a thunderbolt which flies into the top corner.

    Martin Dubravka gets a hand to it but can't keep it out.

    Mike Dean did well to get out of the way of that.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    Newcastle bring on Joe Willock for Ryan Fraser. Willock rescued a late equaliser against Liverpool last season.

    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    Brilliant first touch by Callum Wilson in midfield but he's fouled by Joel Matip. I think Fabian Schar shoots from the halfway line from the free-kick, simple catch for Alisson.

    FT: Chelsea 1-1 Everton

    If Liverpool manage to hang on against Newcastle, it's down to a two horse race for the Premier League title.

  10. Postpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    The ball rolls across to Sadio Mane and he totally air-kicks it.

    Naby Keita does a lot better with a lob from 25 yards although Martin Dubravka gets back in time to save.

    FT: Chelsea 1-1 Everton

    Everton boss Rafael Benitez strides onto the pitch to congratulate his players on a job well done.

    Few saw them getting anything from this game.

    The Spaniard and his side are over to the travelling supporters and are getting the acclaim.

    Jordan Pickford is being serenaded with "England's number one, England's England's number one."

    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    Liverpool have been far from their best here, especially in the second half. Jurgen Klopp's face is half-covered with a snood.

  13. Postpublished at 21:38 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    Sadio Mane is almost in with a lucky ricochet but Martin Dubravka saves. And the keeper saves again with his feet from Diogo Jota's close-range effort.

    All over.

    Jeers ring around Stamford Bridge are Chelsea drop two points, but credit Everton for holding out and managing to claim a draw.

    Five additional minutes have elapsed but we play on.

  16. Postpublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Chelsea 1-1 Everton

    Antonio Rudiger's cross is claimed by Jordan Pickford and he will take until Sunday to boot this upfield.

    Into the final 30 seconds.

  18. Postpublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

    Neither keeper has made a save in this half. Liverpool's Naby Keita fires well wide from long range.

    Chelsea are going backwards.

    Other way, lads.

    Brilliant low cross from Reece James, into the danger area, cleared by Michael Keane.
