Liverpool’s winning goal against Newcastle should not have stood according to former Premier League referee Mark Halsey.
The Reds secured all three points at St James’ Park when Divock Origi nodded home Xherdan Shaqiri’s free-kick.

Jurgen Klopp celebrates with Fabinho after the win at Newcastle
However, it seems Jurgen Klopp’s men were fortunate to even be awarded a set-piece.
Matt Ritchie appeared to make minimal contact with Fabinho before the Brazil international hit the deck.
And Halsey was left dumbfounded by the decision to award the free-kick which allowed the Reds to score.
The former ref told the Weekend Sports Breakfast: “I was watching it live and I didn’t even think it was a free kick in real time!
“The assistant referee, Simon Long, is right there and I don’t know what he is looking at.

“I don’t know what he has seen because there certainly wasn’t a foul by Matt Ritchie.
“I think Fabinho knows what he is doing – he’s been clever – and he’s just thrown himself to the ground to win a free-kick.
“Unfortunately, they scored the winner from it which was unjust on Newcastle.”
