A record-equalling 20th English championship is within reach for Liverpool<\/a> after they ran out 2-0 winners over Newcastle<\/a> at Anfield this evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the match, Arne Slot emphasised the Premier League title was not yet secured, even if Liverpool had a breakthrough weekend, having grabbed the symbolic torch from defending champions Manchester City, while their nearest challengers, Arsenal, suffered a surprising loss to West Ham.<\/p>\n

In another European league, Slot mentioned that an 11-point lead — which they had before this week’s fixtures were played — at this stage of the season would be nearly impossible to overcome. However, the Premier League is too competitive to become complacent. Tonight, it was clear that Liverpool are not only leading the pack but also a step or two ahead of the competition, particularly with a player like Mohamed Salah, who can win any game on his own.<\/p>\n
