On September 14, 2019, Liverpool secured a 3-1 win over Newcastle at Anfield, solidifying their position at the top of the English Premier League table.
Just seven minutes into the match, Jetro Willems gave Newcastle the lead with a powerful shot on his weaker foot, beating Alexander-Arnold Trent and Adrian.
However, Liverpool's Sadio Mane equalized in the 26th minute, expertly placing the ball in the top corner after Andy Robertson's assist.
Following Mane's goal, Liverpool's momentum shifted, and they powered forward with renewed energy.
Among the changes in Liverpool's starting lineup was Divock Origi, who started ahead of Roberto Firmino following the international break.
Steve Bruce's 4-5-1 formation initially confused Liverpool, but the Reds eventually broke through.
Mane scored his second goal of the match in the second half, thanks to Firmino's sumptuous through pass, and Martin Dubravka's mistake allowed the ball to slip past him.
Mo Salah sealed the win for Liverpool with a lovely one-two with Firmino, who played it back with a sublime backheel, making it 3-1 to the Reds.
