When Trent Alexander-Arnold was cautioned for rolling the ball away following a foul on the touchline, it took less than six minutes for the weekend’s premier match to turn into a discussion about the referee.
The right-back appeared to be affected by the incident as he struggled to complete passes as Newcastle increased pressure on his flank while playing more naturally in a 4-3-3.
Alexander-Arnold made a terrible error that allowed Gordon to drive through and score the opening goal for Newcastle.
Then, things got much worse for Liverpool when Virgil van Dijk was controversially sent out when it was determined that he had brought down Alexander Isak as the last man.
The Reds appeared more assured in their reorganized lineup in yet another encounter to get used to playing with 10 men, but it was a tense first half at St James’ Park.

England’s NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE – Mohamed Salah of Liverpool during the FA Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Liverpool FC at St James.
After the break, Newcastle was predictably confident and continued to put pressure on a careless Alexander-Arnold. Joelinton could have done more to set up a significant opportunity for Miguel Almiron.
Wataru Endo and Cody Gakpo were replaced by Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota on the replacements’ bench just before the hour mark.
Despite their numerical deficit, Liverpool still had chances to draw the game. Jota’s cunning on the left wing was crucial in setting up a chance for Mo Salah that was ultimately stopped.
Almiron had a brilliant moment but hit the post with his effort, and Klopp shuffled his team by giving Jarell Quansah his debut and bringing in Nunez.
Nunez was the one who brought Liverpool back, capitalizing on a defensive blunder to take the ball into his own goal and tie the game at one. Nunez was elated and determined to make a statement.
another follows. A misplaced ball was followed by a Salah through ball, a Nunez surge, and a lavish conclusion. Heroic, 2-1.
