African players abroad Keita Helped Liverpool Beat Newcastle To Take Premier League Lead

Liverpool take the lead of the Premier League ahead of Manchester City as Naby Keita’s solitary goal helped the Reads beat Newcastle 1-0 at St. James’ Park.

The Reds could have made life easier for themselves had Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota not missed big chances to extend Liverpool’s lead.

However, Keita’s controversial goal on 19 minutes was enough to move two points ahead of City, who can retake top spot when they travel to Leeds later on Saturday.

Any slip by Pep Guardiola’s men and an unprecedented quadruple of Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup would be just seven games away for the Reds.

Klopp gave Liverpool fans even more cause for celebration by extending his contract at Anfield by two years to 2026 on Thursday.
