The match featured some standout individual performances, not least from Liverpool’s Egyptian maestro Salah, who was named the Player of the Match. His double was a reminder of his class, but Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes also shone brightly, orchestrating play and battling fiercely in midfield.

Mohamed Salah's second-half double was not enough to extend Liverpool's seven-game winning run in all competitions as they failed to win for just the third time in 21 games under Arne Slot.
