"I'm very pleased for Rio, I've said it to him already it all starts now, he has to keep working hard and stay humble but definitely have to enjoy this because these nights, you can't take them for granted if you're in his position.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe added: “I think great performance form the players, both first and second half in very different ways., First half we thought we dominated the game.

we were in a great place with just the goal missing.

“Second half we had a mountain to climb at 2-0 down with 10 men but I thought we controlled the game.

I thought we were really good and fought our way back unbelievably well but couldn't get over the line to get a point.

”I think it's tough to play against 11 men, especially against a team with the quality of Liverpool.
