London - Saba:
Liverpool on Wednesday strengthened its lead in the English Premier League table, after achieving a deserved victory over its guest Newcastle United with two clean goals, in the match that took place yesterday evening in the 27th stage of the competition, which witnessed Arsenal's draw with Nottingham Forest.
With their victory, Liverpool continued their march towards winning the title and widened the gap to 13 points over second-placed Arsenal, thanks to goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, with one goal in each half in the 11th and 63rd minutes, respectively.
Liverpool raised their score to 67 points at the top of the standings, while Newcastle dropped to sixth place, three points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
