This isn’t the first time however that both clubs’ supporters had a punch up of some kind, as back in 2019, Northumbria Police confirmed there were five away arrests and two home arrests outside St James’ Park.

Video footage showed the moment fans clashed in the street in the aftermath of the Liverpool vs Newcastle Premier League match all those years ago.

Fans were fighting and pushing and shoving next to coaches outside the stadium with officers forced to break up the ugly scenes by charging at the crowd of people and waving batons.

The fighting allegedly started by a group of Toon fans clashing with Liverpool supporters boarding their coach, Chronicle Live reported.

Fast forward back to today and it just shows the grudge continues even after the Covid pandemic with fans clashing as seen in the video at the top of the article.

Naby Keita’s first-half goal secureed a narrow 1-0 win for Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp’s side keeping the pressure on Man City, who return to the top having beat Leeds 4-0 in Saturday’s late game.

Man of the match: Naby Keita.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe: “I don’t think we quite got going. I thought we made a bright start to the game but we’re slightly disappointed with our own performance.

“Individually I don’t think we hit our top levels, which meant collectively we didn’t quite hit the levels we have recently. We probably didn’t quite have that sustained pressure we were looking for. The second half was better without that big chance ever really coming.

“There were one or two bright sparks, but it’s slightly disappointing compared to our previous levels. I’ve seen progress from where we have been, but on the other side there’s a lot of work to do.”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: “I thought it was a top-class game in extremely difficult circumstances. Playing this kind of football.

“That’s why I’m really happy. You want to win football games and in the best case you deserve to win, and we did today 100 per cent against a team in great form in a great atmosphere.”

He added: “It was incredibly difficult for the boys today, to be honest, it’s clear. We played two and a half days ago.

“Coming here, a team in form, six home wins on the bounce, great weather, everybody in a good mood, pretty much everything was prepared for another home win.

“The only group who wanted to avoid that was my players. It was an outstanding football game, to be honest. In the circumstances, it was a top-class performance.”

On making five changes for the game: “I don’t think about the next game, but I know you cannot ignore that. My job is to use the squad when they are available and that’s what we do. Today we thought it was the right thing today because we needed legs in this game.”
