Newcastle produced a steely performance to keep Liverpool's attacking forces at bay with Joselu bagging another goal for Rafa Benitez's side.

The Spanish striker raced onto a straight ball through the Reds' central defenders, before Joel Matip's tackle ricocheted off Joselu and beyond Simon Mignolet.

Philippe Coutinho's earlier wonder-strike had put the visitors ahead, but two stand-out performances by Newcastle defenders handled Sadio Mane and Mo Salah in style.
