According to <a href="https://twitter.com/xGPhilosophy/status/1741942138982572488?s=20" target="_blank">The xG Philosophy</a>, Liverpool accumulated an expected goals (xG) value of 7.53 xG, which is more than any other team has recorded in the Premier League this season, compared to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-newcastle-united-player-ratings/blt9cb5f0f3a8c95410" target="_blank">Newcastle</a> United's figure of 0.70 xG.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After the post was shared on their official X account, multiple fans had their say which one fan stating: "Is this a record? Surely it's a record."While another added: "7.53 is crazy." In response to their dominance across the 4-2 victory at Anfield. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Liverpool (7.53) 4-2 (0.70) Newcastle— The xG Philosophy (@xGPhilosophy) <a href="https://twitter.com/xGPhilosophy/status/1741942138982572488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 1, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT FANS SAID

While Salah's two penalties would account for around 1.5 xG given their high probability of going in, Liverpool were still exceptionally dominant in this fixture and could've scored several more goals. The likes of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez all saw efforts either go wide or well-saved by Martin Dubravka in the Newcastle goal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The club currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, as we head into a short break for the league with FA Cup fixtures pencilled in to take place next week. Liverpool will face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on January 7, before a Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham just three days later. They will be without Salah for all of these fixtures, as he jets out to the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.
