Sadio Mane scored a brace and Mohamed Salah was also on target as Liverpool came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-1 and extend their winning streak to 14 Premier League matches.

Newcastle took a surprise lead on seven minutes, Jetro Willems cutting inside from the left and firing in.

But Liverpool equalised in the 28th minute, Mane finding the top corner after a pass from Andrew Robertson.

Roberto Firmino replaced the injured Divock Origi and set up Mane's second five minutes before half-time, the Senegalese tapping into an empty net after Martin Dubravka failed to deal with the Brazilian’s through ball.

Salah then wrapped up the three points 18 minutes from time after a superb flick from Firmino.
