Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold seals his side's Premier League win over Newcastle United with a long-range screamer.

Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has scored a goal of the season contender to wrap up the Reds' victory over Newcastle United at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's side had struggled to put the game to bed after quickfire goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah had cancelled out Jonjo Shelvey's shock early opener.

However, Alexander-Arnold secured all three points for his side in emphatic fashion, unleashing a thunderous strike from range which flew past Martin Dubravka and into the top corner.

The win sees Liverpool close the gap at the top of the Premier League table to one point again, while Chelsea's draw against Everton means that they are now three points above the third-placed Blues.

Liverpool saw a number of records tumble during the match, scoring in a 32nd successive game for the first time and also becoming the first team in English football history to reach 2,000 top-flight wins.

Salah, meanwhile, equalled Jamie Vardy's Premier League record of directly contributing to a goal in 15 successive matches.
