Wherever the Premier League title ends up, and for Liverpool there remains hope it will be Anfield, Jürgen Klopp and his players know they could not have given any more. Manchester City have been taken to the wire in the title race courtesy of a punishing and dramatic Liverpool victory at Newcastle, who were four minutes from inflicting potentially fatal damage on the visitors when Divock Origi produced another telling intervention from the bench.
Origi was only on the pitch as a consequence of what appeared a serious injury to Mohamed Salah, who was carried off after a collision with Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. Liverpool’s title dreams appeared to be going with him as Rafael Benítez’s team twice came from behind in search of a merited point.
