Liverpool equal Premier League win record with victory at Newcastle

Liverpool have matched Manchester City for most wins in a single Premier League season after signing off on 2019-20 with victory over Newcastle United.

The Reds clinched their first Premier League crown and 19th overall title in the English top flight at the end of June after leading for almost the entire season.

It was also the club's first league crown since 1990, ending a barren run of three decades without finishing on top domestically.

By winning with seven games to spare Jurgen Klopp's men set a new record, one of many over the course of a dominant campaign that was interrupted for almost three months by the coronavirus pandemic.
