Liverpool continued their relentless march towards the Premier League title with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United, making it 13 points clear at the top.
Liverpool extended their gaping lead over second-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand but lost further ground after being held to a 0-0 draw by Nottingham Forest.
Szoboszlai opens the net in the 11th minute at a rain-drenched Anfield when Luis Diaz worked the ball down the left before cutting it back for the unmarked Hungarian, whom Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali had allowed to dart away into space.
The midfielder fired home a close-range shot that sailed through two sets of legs and past goalkeeper Nick Pope, the first time he has scored in back-to-back games for Liverpool.
Newcastle were good after the break, but Mac Allister extend the home side’s lead in the 63rd minute, when Mohamed Salah cut the ball back for the Argentinian, who punished the visitors for their sloppy defending with a blistering shot into the top corner.
Liverpool Fans celebrated Mac Allister’s goal by breaking into a chorus of “We’re going to win the league,” while the television camera panned to Slot, forced to sit in the stands due to a touchline ban, jubilantly pumping his fists.
