Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat a few minutes Liverpool have had. Lost a goal, lost a player - and not just any player - and I'm sure it can't get much worse for them. They will also lose Van Dijk for another match too.

Well, there's going to be no shortage of talking points for the managers to delve into after this. And we've only had 32 minutes.

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveWe said right before the game started the importance of that battle. Anthony Gordon has had the better of him right from the very start. His pace in behind there.
It always looked like if the breakthrough was going to come it was going to come through Anthony Gordon.

They have had a lot of looks at it, that's what VAR is for and he's not even had a look.

Fuming.

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool
The tech team agree with John Brooks. Virgil van Dijk has to go, but he is not going quietly. The defender is raging and has his say before departing.
Jurgen Klopp looks pretty sick down on the touchline too.
The last few minutes have swung this game dramatically in Newcastle's favour.
RED CARD TO LIVERPOOLpublished at 27 mins
Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool
Liverpool are falling apart!
Virgil van Dijk has been shown a straight red for going through Alexander Isak as he sought to get on the ball and in on goal.
Looks like the defender got a touch on the ball but the man first.
VAR will look at it but it looks like the denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity.
GOAL - Newcastle 1-0 Liverpoolpublished at 26 mins
Anthony Gordon
Talk about picking your game to score!
Former Blue Anthony Gordon hits the Reds with a hammer blow. Trent Alexander-Arnold has had a poor first half and it is his error - the ball sneaking under his boot - that allows Gordon to charge away and into the box before slotting a shot under Alisson and in.

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveHe is certainly someone I had watched a lot at Everton. I hadn't realised how quick he is. He is absolutely lightning at both ends of the pitch and he is really showing it for Newcastle this season.

Anon: Very close from Diaz. Liverpool looking strong but Newcastle still having chances. It’s gonna be a tight one!

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhen you see your defender running like that and you can see the number on his back, you know he is not balanced and you have him. The first chance he [Luis Diaz] has had to run at his defender, it looks like he has got him on toast.

Brilliant save!
This is opening up now. Luis Diaz gathers the ball on the left from a neat pass from Dominik Szoboszlai and sets off. He beats a couple of men to get a sight of goal but his angled shot is pushed behind by a big hand from Nick Pope.
Quality work all round.
