Liverpool secured a 4-1 comeback victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League, moving up to fifth place.

The win provides a boost for Arne Slot's side after a recent dip in form.
Liverpool and France striker Hugo Ekitike suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during a Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, ruling him out for up to nine months and this summer's World Cup. The 23-year-old collapsed in the first half of Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at Anfield. France manager Didier Deschamps confirmed the injury's severity in a statement.
