Liverpool FC humiliated Newcastle FC 6-0 at St James’ Park leaving the Magpies five points away from the Premier League drop zone.
A brace from Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge and one goal each from Daniel Agger and Fabio Borini saw Liverpool start life after Luis Suarez’s ban on a brighter note.
Mathieu Debuchy was sent off in the second half for a second bookable- offence, before Henderson netted his second goal from a free kick to complete a six- nil thrashing.
