Alan Shearer on Newcastle United v Liverpool
In our opinion, Liverpool were the better team against Newcastle and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.
Yes, the only goal of the match was controversial, but on the balance of play, you have to say that the Reds were better.
Liverpool had 66% of the possession, took 24 shots and earned six corners.
Newcastle had 34% of the possession, took four shots and could not earn a single corner.
Liverpool are now at the top of the Premier League table, but defending champions Manchester City have the chance to regain pole position with a win against Leeds United on Saturday evening.
It is going to be a fascinating end to the Premier League title race this season.
