The match between Newcastle United and Liverpool was nothing short of thrilling, with both teams putting on an impressive display of skill and determination. However, it was the late equalizer by Newcastle that left Liverpool's Jamie Carragher frustrated. He specifically called out goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher for his role in the goal, stating that he should have caught the ball instead of leaving it for a teammate.
Liverpool, who are currently leading the Premier League, seemed to be on track for another crucial win after coming back from behind twice. However, a thumping strike from Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead 10 minutes before half-time. But Liverpool didn't back down and Curtis Jones equalized shortly after the break. It was a back-and-forth battle, with Anthony Gordon scoring to put Newcastle ahead again, only to be countered by Mohamed Salah's two goals in 15 minutes.
Just when it seemed like Liverpool would seal the win, there was one final twist. Kelleher, who has been filling in for injured Alisson as Liverpool's goalkeeper, made a costly mistake by leaving an outswinging free-kick, allowing Fabian Schar to score from a tight angle. This mistake left Carragher baffled and he criticized Kelleher for not catching the ball.
Fellow former player Ian Wright also questioned Kelleher's actions, stating that he must have thought the ball was going out. Despite this error, Kelleher has been performing well in Alisson's absence, but there have been talks of him potentially leaving Liverpool for rival team Chelsea.
Despite the draw, Liverpool remains at the top of the table, but their lead has been cut to seven points after Chelsea and Arsenal both secured victories on Wednesday night. On the other hand, Newcastle finds themselves in the 10th spot, with manager Eddie Howe pleased with his team's performance against a strong Liverpool side.
Howe admitted that it was a difficult task to face a team like Liverpool, but his players showed great mental strength and were able to match them. He also praised Alexander Isak for his standout performance and expressed his confidence in the team's potential if they continue to play at their best. Overall, it was an intense match that showcased the talents of both teams and left fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
