Anthony Elanga took his chance today and coolly picked out the bottom corner for Newcastle's opener. Harvey Barnes got the nod ahead of Bazoumana Toure to start and won a free-kick in a dangerous position with an enterprising run. William Osula led the breakaway in build-up to Newcastle's first goal and made a sensible decision on when to release Elanga with a weighed pass.
Cody Gakpo threatened and came close to scoring before unleashing a brilliant hit for Liverpool's first equaliser. Yoane Wissa clearly relished added responsibility from Jaissle in the number 10 position, carrying the ball superbly to set up Joe Willock's goal, which gave Newcastle a 2-1 lead. However, Liverpool's late penalty equaliser ensured that the match ended in a draw.
Victor Munoz looked sharp when he came on and won the crucial penalty. Alisson could have been in a better position for Anthony Elanga's goal. The draw was a disappointing outcome for Jaissle, who was hoping to secure his first win in charge. However, it was a positive result for Liverpool, who will be pleased with the late equaliser.
