It was a finish with somewhat of a flourish for the Premier League champions as the Reds bowed out of the prolonged 2019/20 season with a 3-1 victory away at Newcastle United to end the campaign on a club-record 99 points.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were shocked within the first minute when a quickly taken free-kick from Jonjo Shelvey put Dwight Gayle clean through on goal and he was a thorn in Liverpool’s side once again as he opened the scoring inside the first minute.

However, from that moment on, it was business as usual for Liverpool as they controlled possession, albeit they lacked a cutting edge with the regular front three sat watching from the bench.

The equaliser finally came when Virgil van Dijk towered above defenders to head home an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cross before half time. The second half continued as the first had ended and a strike from outside the box from Divock Origi put Liverpool ahead.

All of the front three took to the field shortly after that goal and Sadio Mane got himself on the scoresheet soon after with a sumptuous long-range curling effort.

Liverpool finished the season with a remarkable 99 points from a possible 114, meaning across the last two seasons, this squad has amassed 196 points from 228, truly incredible standards.

Klopp and his players will now enjoy a well-deserved short break before returning to hopefully, do it all over again.

Here’s how we rated the Reds in the win over Newcastle.
