LIVERPOOL YAIKANDAMIZA BAO SITA KWA BUYU NEWCASTLE..." Newcastle 0 Liverpool 6 "
DANIEL STURRIDGE bagged a brace as Liverpool crushed a hapless Newcastle side to leave them hovering dangerously close to the drop.
Daniel Agger opened the scoring before Jordan Henderson added a second before the break.And the relentless Reds sealed the win thanks to Sturridges’s quick-fire double giving them a four-goal lead by the hour mark.
Mathieu Debuchy did not help his side's cause with an awful challenge that left the referee no choice but to send him off.
Goals from second-half substitute Fabio Borini and Henderson further punished miserable Toon fans by adding two more to complete an emphatic rout.
Liverpool had not won at Newcastle since a 5-1 mauling in 2008, and they broke their five-year duck with a similarly dominant performance.
In doing so they consigned their hosts to their worst defeat since the 1920s.
Alan Pardew rang the changes at half-time to try and inject some life into his side by bringing on the pacey Hatem Ben Arfa.
But the French maestro could do little to stop the endless tide of red pressure as his team looked all at sea.
An unmarked Agger opened the scoring with a simple header right in front of the Newcastle net to set the tone for the day’s play.
A brilliant flowing move released Sturridge soon later and he selflessly teed up Henderson to send Pool two ahead inside 20 minutes.
James Perch headed wide with the goal at his mercy as Newcastle failed to give themselves hope before the break.
Daniel Sturridge blasted in his first after a cute pass from Philippe Coutinho.
And minutes later he was there again to tap home after some woeful Newcastle defending to send a wave of Toon fans home.
Fabio Borini came on for Steven Gerrard and added a fifth with just his second touch after some good work from Stewart Downing.
Debuchy’s shocking tackle earned a deserved red card and 10-man Toon were unable to prevent Jordan Henderson from adding a personal second and his side’s sixth with a curling free-kick.
Coutinho tried to get in on the act and rattled the Toon crossbar as the remaining Newcastle fans were not rewarded for their patience.
