The goals of the guests from London were scored by Norwegian Martin Odegor in the 55th and 75th minutes.
Liverpool are sovereign even without Klopp
“Liverpool” rose to the sixth place in the table after a convincing home victory. Former Hoffenheimer Roberto Firmino (6th) headed in a free-kick and Darwin Nunez (21st/42nd) scored twice for the top-flight Reds. Coach Jurgen Klopp had to watch the game from the stands after his red card he received against Manchester City a few weeks ago.

Premier League, 16th game. Chelsea could not end the crisis before the World Cup break. The score 0:1 (0:0) won at “Newcastle United” was the third consecutive defeat of the Premier League for the Londoners.
With his goal, Joe Willock (67th) ensured that Newcastle remained 3rd in the table until at least Christmas and that Graham Potter, as Thomas Tuchel’s successor, will have to worry about his job as Chelsea manager.
