Klopp's side had to dig deep to overcome Newcastle's resistance and get the three points with the 4-2 final score, to celebrate victory at the start of 2024. Martin Dubravka made life very difficult for the Reds and despite the fact that he conceded four goals, his performance was truly exceptional.
Liverpool once again recorded 34 shots to get those four goals, but the highlight of the Merseyside club's performances were the moments when the stats recorded they could have scored.
The xGoals stats reached 7.27, based on the criteria that determine how likely it is for the ball to end up in the opponent's net.
Never before has such a number been recorded in a Premier League match, even in much bigger victories in the past for Liverpool!
In 9-0 against Bournemouth in 2022 Klopp's team had 3.32 xGoals, while in 7-0 against Manchester United this value reached the scale of 2.78!
