The first thing I'd like to say is that I've been working on this for a long time. This amazing start comes from the foundation of the winter vacation, plus the summer reinforcement is not ostentatious but very solid to the point.
On the eve of the closing of the summer transfer window, the Magpies have officially announced that they have splashed out a team record €70m (65m + 5m floating clause) to bring back Real Sociedad's Swedish striker Alexander Isak, who will be ready to make his debut as soon as this round.
By no coincidence, current Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe is the former head coach of the Cherries. After a draw at Anfield in April 2017, Eddie Howe's side played against

2-1 Newcastle United, picking up their second consecutive win while snapping the Magpies' four-game unbeaten streak to start the season.
Liverpool (England)
A midweek win for the first time this season, another come-from-behind victory to grab the points. Just to add to that, a 0-0 win at neighbors Everton in Round 6 (with a goal for the Sugar Rush and an offside goal cancelling each other out) was a hard-fought way to extend a 12-game unbeaten run away from home in Merseyside derbies.

Liverpool (England)
A perfect response to the game. I'm very happy with the result and there's really nothing else to say.
Winning a game like this is a perfect result because it was a tough game, both sides defended with such intensity and the players were so committed that it's hard to keep your rhythm from start to finish in a game like this. When the 0-1 result stood until the end of halftime, I told my players in the lounge that we were looking a little bit frustrated right now and that we should go and conduct the ball more, and that only when we play like that do we become more of a threat. Also, we have to stay calm and continue to face the situation.
A result like this was able to wash away the frustration of the course of this game, which was one of the best nights we've ever had, and that's soccer.
He (Fabio Carvalho) is a very good young player, we changed a lot of things in this game, but he still showed that he adapted, and these kind of moments of desperation are what a player like him needs to experience.
It was a result that meant a lot to us and a game we will remember. Divock Origi contributed the winning goal in our previous 2-3 away defeat at Newcastle United, anything can happen before the end of the game and now we have proved that again.
Newcastle United played a good half, and despite suffering from pot stickers there is no need to be sad, after all, Anfield is second only to Old Trafford as the Magpies' ghost gate.

Pushing it this far is a kudos for being good enough on their own, in addition to the fact that their opponents haven't adjusted yet.
Furthermore, Eddie Howe has not fielded all his starters in this round, and it's not as if the Magpies are without injuries at this stage, with back-to-back games.
