Newcastle United beat Liverpool 3-0 in the "North East Derby" on Saturday, finally breaking their exit from the EFL Cup and three consecutive defeats in the Premier League, and coach Eddie Howdy kept his job for the time being. However, the Magpies' next two Premier League matches are against top-three opponents Manchester City and Aston Villa, and it is feared that it will be another tough battle, and it is still unknown whether Eddie Howdy will be able to get through this difficult time.
Facing the old rival Liverpool, Newcastle United was at a passive moment. Fortunately, the players showed their tenacious fighting spirit. In the 35th minute of the first half, Zuenton made a clever pass from the left side of the field, and Liverpool's center back Paulette made a mistake in intercepting the ball and kicked the ball into his own goal, thus making an "oolong show".
Just a minute after the break, Alexander Isaac scored his second goal for Newcastle United to make it 2-0, while Liverpool's most threatening shot of the game was a long range effort from midfielder Alexis Berlichat, which went just wide of the goal. Towards the end of the game, Anthony Gordon was infringed by an opponent in the box and the referee awarded a penalty, which Alexander Isaac hit to seal the win once again.
