But this will go down in football folklore as an all-time, unforgettable Premier League classic.

When Hugo Ekitike made it 2-0 23 seconds into the second half, it looked like a lost cause for Newcastle.

But that would be writing off the passion and determination in St James’s Park and this was a night when the crowd carried the team - together with a brilliant captain’s performance from Bruno Guimaraes - to an incredible fightback.

It was all about the glory of the game, the heroes, the crowd and the fightback.

It also underlined the character and fight of Slot’s champions as they are determined to fight to hold onto their Premier League crown.

But still we were not finished as Liverpool poured forward.
