Premier League, Round 14 Highlights Newcastle 3-3 Liverpool
The night’s headline clash delivered a rollercoaster of emotions as Newcastle snatched a last-minute equalizer against Liverpool, ending the Reds’ seven-game winning streak. Swiss defender Fabian Schär scored the dramatic equalizer in stoppage time, denying Liverpool victory in what seemed a certain comeback triumph.
Mohamed Salah starred for Liverpool, netting twice, while Curtis Jones added another. For Newcastle, goals from Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak had initially put the hosts in control before Liverpool turned the tables. Salah’s late goal in the 83rd minute seemed to seal the victory, but Schär’s heroics ensured the spoils were shared in this six-goal thriller.
Everton 4-0 Wolverhampton
Everton rebounded in style after a humiliating loss in the previous round, thrashing Wolverhampton 4-0 at Goodison Park. This emphatic victory ended a five-match winless streak for Sean Dyche’s side and provided a perfect morale boost ahead of the Merseyside derby.
Ashley Young and Mangala scored for Everton, but the game will be remembered for the unfortunate contribution of Wolves’ defender Chris Dawson, who scored two own goals. Everton dominated throughout, with Wolves unable to recover from their defensive lapses.
Everton will remain at home for their next fixture, where they face city rivals Liverpool in the highly anticipated Merseyside derby.
