PLAYER RATINGS: Mo Salah showed Liverpool what they will be missing but Ibrahima Konate was static for Alexander Isak's equaliser... while Newcastle defender endured tough day at the office

Liverpool navigated a whirlwind game and stormy elements to emerge 4-2 victors from a thrilling clash with Newcastle.

The result sees Jurgen Klopp's men move three points clear at the top of the Premier League table, in no small part thanks to Mo Salah.

Their talisman - who shortly heads to the Africa Cup of Nations - galvanised them in the second half and scored twice to help them to the three points.

Martin Dubravka faced a busy evening with commendable bravery but could not keep out a superior Liverpool, who won the midfield battle and ran riot up top.
