Mo on the rampage

Salah signs off in style ahead of AFCON by ripping Magpies to shreds

THE wind and rain hammered Anfield but the Liverpool storm and Mo Salah finally broke Newcastle's defences.

Chance after chance was wasted but the Reds got there in the end.

Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo got the second and third to condemn Eddie Howe's side to a third successive league defeat.

But this was as much down to the perseverance and brilliance of Salah in a six-goal thriller which all came in the second half.

The Egyptian got the opener after missing an earlier penalty before Alexander Isak levelled the game and then Salah atoned for his earlier spot kick by scoring another late on to wrap up the victory.

It ended any hope of a Newcastle fightback after Sven Botman's header had made it 3-2. Salah was also pivotal in the lead-up to Diogo Jota teeing up Jones before he then put in a superb cross with the outside of his boot to set up Gakpo.
