After a tough 3-0 defeat at Nou Camp at the hands of Barcelona and Lionel Messi, Liverpool were going in this must-win match against former manager Rafa Benitez and his well-drilled Newcastle team to keep them in the hunt for the title against the ruthless Manchester City side.

They got off to a good start with Virgil van Dijk scoring early. But the early lead was cancelled by Christian Atsu in the 20th minute. Liverpool got their lead back through Mohammed Salah in the 28th minute. Within 10 minutes of the start of the second half, Solomon Rondon levelled the scores once more.

In the hunt of a winner, Salah rushed into the Newcastle's goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and got a serious knock on the head which when looked at later was a concussion. He had to leave the pitch on a stretcher and was seen visibly shedding tears. Divock Origi came on for him.

When it looked like Liverpool's title ambition was about to take a serious hit, in the 86th minute Liverpool won a freekick and Xherdan Shaqiri whipped a cross into the box which was met with the head of Divock Origi. The Belgian forward made no mistakes and sealed the three points for his team.
