That is Hugo Ekitike's night done.

He has to walk off by the away end, gets a bit of stick from them and responds by pointing to the scoreboard and then giving it the big one to the Liverpool fans.

No hat-trick but a superb night's work for the Frenchman.

Mohamed Salah is also coming off. On come Federico Chiesa and Curtis Jones.

Newcastle send on William Osula for Kieran Trippier.

Yet another corner for Newcastle and they take this one quickly. Hugo Ekitike heads it away but the ball comes back at Liverpool.

There is a slight delay now as Ekitike stays down after being sandwiched between two of his team-mates, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch.

They need something, Newcastle. We have seen some good goals this evening, and Newcastle need something like that to get them back in the game. They're running out of time.

Newcastle fans are trying to get their team going. If they nick one now, it will be an interesting finish.

Applause around Anfield as Alisson claims the corner underneath his own crossbar.

We're into the last 10 minutes (plus stoppage time) now.

Ibrahima Konate heads a Lewis Hall cross out for a throw-in before Sandro Tonali's shot comes off Dominik Szoboszlai and loops high into the night sky.

It lands on the top of the net. Corner to Newcastle.

Newcastle's subs need to get into the game quicker. It is high intensity, so it is difficult.

Not far away from Anthony Gordon.

Good first touch and then he flashes the shot wide from 20 yard. Alisson looked to have it covered anyway.

Liverpool are happy to be patient, passing the ball around on the edge of the Newcastle box.

It doesn't quite work out for them when they do try to speed it up but it's the visitors who need to try and force the issue with less than 15 minutes of the 90 remaining.

Liverpool get into the Newcastle penalty area again but a rare miscontrol from Florian Wirtz sees them lose possession and the German then gives away a free-kick.

Eddie Howe had to roll the dice, didn't he?

Triple change for Newcastle.

Eddie Howe sends on both Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade, as well as Jacob Murphy.

Off go Harvey Barnes, Joe Willock and Anthony Elanga.

The speed that Mo Salah runs at...

He is running so quickly, Lewis Hall tried to get a bit of physicality on him, but he couldn't catch him.

Great break from Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah with the chance to wrap it up for Liverpool.

A lightning quick counter attack sees Florian Wirtz play the ball through to Salah, he gets into the box but then stabs his left-foot shot wide.

He couldn't open it up for a cleaner strike on his strong foot and didn't fancy going with his right.

Florian Wirtz is elite. He has shown that in the last few games. We have seen it at international level, and Bayer Leverkusen. He has taken time to settle at Liverpool, but that is pure class.

Anthony Gordon has not had the service [in this second half], but he is still searching for it.

Cody Gakpo gets to the byeline on the left and Liverpool have numbers in the middle but the Netherlands international can't pick out a red shirt and the chance goes.

Superb strength from Ibrahima Konate to ease Lewis Hall off the ball and end a Newcastle break before it can really start.
