Top 5 Newcastle v Liverpool Premier League clashes

These two finishes off their 90’s rivalry with an absolute belter at St. James’ Park on Boxing day 1999.

Newcastle had taken the lead through Alan Shearer before a Michael Owen brace put the Reds ahead.

The Magpies threw players forward in search of an equaliser and it duly arrived through big Duncan Ferguson.

The huge number nine fired himself at a Warren Barton cross to send the home crowd into raptures.

Newcastle 0-6 Liverpool, 2012-13

This was peak Brendan Rodgers football as the Reds blew a hole through a Newcastle United team who didn’t know what had hit them.

Extraordinarily, Liverpool managed six goals in this one without the help of Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan was banned after he was caught nibbling on Branislav Ivanovic’s arm the previous weekend.

However, Daniel Sturridge was still in fine fettle as he bagged a brace. The other goals arrived through Fabio Borini, a Jordan Henderson double, and Daniel Agger.

Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle, 1996-97

A slightly different take on the same scoreline from the previous season, this fixture still produced another classic.

The Reds flew into a 3-0 lead before half-time with goals from Steve McManaman, Patrik Berger, and Robbie Fowler.

Kevin Keegan’s Magpies set up a grandstand finish, somehow pulling it back to 3-3.

Keith Gillespie, Faustino Asprilla and Warren Barton all took advantage of David James’ howlers to level it.

However, Fowler’s last-gasp winner broke Geordie hearts again as Anfield revelled in more North East despair.
