Manager Jurgen Klopp's team begins 2024 with a three-point lead at the summit of the Premier League standings as Liverpool secured a 4-2 win over Newcastle United at Anfield on Monday.

Liverpool secured a 4-2 victory over Newcastle United, propelled by Mohamed Salah's brilliance in the second half.

Liverpool's emphatic win over Newcastle United puts Mohamed Salah-starrer team in a solid position with 45 points from 20 games, maintaining their top position in standings.

Aston Villa (42 points) remains alive as a contender in the Premier League title race. On the other hand, Manchester City (40), with one match remaining, presents a potential challenge to Liverpool's lead.

Mohamed Salah shined with two goals and an assist after missing a penalty against a deflated Newcastle. He will now represent Egypt in Ivory Coast.

Newcastle, experiencing their seventh defeat in eight matches, displayed a noticeable lack of confidence in possession and resorted to desperate defending.

"It's a great result for us. The game was very intense and we managed to pick up three points and now we are top of the table. We need to stay calm and win every game," Salah told Sky Sports.
