LONDON, May 5 -- An 86th minute goal from Liverpool substitute Divock Origi gave Jurgen Klopp's side a dramatic 3-2 win away to Newcastle United on Saturday night to keep their title hopes alive in another dramatic Premier League weekend.
It was 2-2 at St. James Park before Origi got his head onto a cross from another substitute, Xherdan Shaqiri, when it had looked as if Liverpool were going to all but say goodbye to their title hopes.
Virgil Van Dijk headed a dominant Liverpool into a 13th minute lead but their celebrations were cut short seven minutes later when Cristian Atsu equalized from close range.
Mohamed Salah put Liverpool back in front from a cross from the Liverpool right back just before the half hour, but Salomon Rondon again equalized nine minutes after halftime.
Liverpool suffered a huge setback when Salah was carried off on a stretcher 20 minutes before the end after colliding with Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka, but fate deemed that the man who replaced him would have the last word in the game.
Manchester City now have to beat Leicester City on Monday, otherwise Liverpool will win their first title in 30 years if they beat Wolves at home on May 13th.
Tottenham lost their seventh Premier League game in 11 matches, going down to an injury time goal from Nathan Ake after hanging on for 43 minutes with nine men after Heung Min-Son and Juan Foyth were sent off after some 'robust' football on the south coast.
