Meanwhile, Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, dealing a blow to their title aspirations.
Liverpool Marching Towards the Title
Liverpool’s win over Newcastle, thanks to goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, has solidified their position at the top of the table. The Reds have now come through a testing run of fixtures, including a draw at Aston Villa and wins against Manchester City and Newcastle, showcasing their determination to clinch the Premier League title.
Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister expressed the team’s desire to win trophies this season, stating, “We know that this season we maybe have the opportunity to win some, so we are really happy to work really hard and hopefully we can keep on going.”
With 67 points from 28 games, Liverpool are firmly in control of the title race, while Arsenal, with 54 points and a game in hand, are struggling to keep pace.
Arsenal’s Title Hopes Fade
Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest was another setback in their pursuit of the Premier League title. The Gunners’ defeat at the hands of West Ham over the weekend had already dealt a blow to their title aspirations, and the stalemate at the City Ground has further dented their hopes.

The Gunners will need to regroup and refocus if they are to salvage their season and secure a top-four finish, which would still be a significant achievement considering their strong start to the campaign.
