Opportunities were not lacking for either team, but neither Newcastle nor Liverpool managed to score at St James’ Park on Wednesday night.
Newcastle’s Karl Darlow goal stopped a Mohamed Salah free kick and Liverpool came close to putting the equalizer in the 81st minute when the opposing defense lost control of the ball to Fabio Schär in a fight to the left of goal, but the In the end the ball was cleared over the dead ball line.
The last really hot opportunity of the match came in the 88th minute when Firmino headed in a corner from close range but Karl Darlow on goal made a good save and the match ended 0-0.
– I am satisfied with a saved zero and a point here at home. We have come back from a difficult match against Manchester City so we are happy to get a point, Karl Darlow tells the BBC after the match.
Liverpool lost points to Newcastle
The goalkeeper also comments on the rumors that place him in the English team.
– It would be ridiculous of me not to admit that I am aware of that, I know what is happening and I hope I can continue to perform well and can probably ensure that I participate and compete. “I have to keep doing what I do and I hope it happens,” says Darlow.
The result means Liverpool’s league lead is now just three points behind Manchester United after two straight draws. Manchester United also has a less played game.
It was gratifying for Liverpool despite the loss of points that Thiago Alcântara returned. The Spaniard had not played since he was injured in the derby against Everton in mid-October.
