Liverpool fans in meltdown after seeing what the club's YouTube channel posted following win over Newcastle
Liverpool recorded a dramatic win over Newcastle United on Monday night.
Liverpool fans have been reacting on social media after seeing what the club's YouTube channel posted following their win over Newcastle United.
On Monday night, Arne Slot's men travelled to St. James' Park to take on Newcastle in the Premier League.
The match had extra riding on it due to the ongoing transfer saga involving Magpies star man Alexander Isak.
Over the last few weeks, it has been well documented that the Swedish international wants to leave Newcastle for Liverpool.

However, the Magpies remain unwilling to sell despite the striker's public statement.
On the pitch, Liverpool threw away a 2-0 lead before 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha scored a last-minute winner to seal a dramatic 3-2 victory.
During the aftermath of the clash, Liverpool fans were left gobsmacked by what the club's official YouTube channel posted.
As per usual, the club would upload footage of Slot's post-match press conference on YouTube, but this time around, the choice of thumbnail caught fans' attention.
In the freeze frame chosen as the video's main image, Slot's pose has been compared to Isak's trademark celebration, where he runs off while raising his thumb.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: "You cannot tell me this wasn’t intentional…"
Another tweeted: "Any frame they chose that."
A third fan added: "Slot hitting the Isak cele."
Someone else wrote: "Nah why they doing me like that I am getting reeled back in."
A fifth commented: "Nah they’re taking the p***."
Another fan said: "If they do s*** like this and then actually don't sign him my head will be in another dimension."
What did Arne Slot say about the Alexander Isak saga?
Quizzed on the Isak saga after the match, Slot opted to speak about his current striker, Hugo Ekitike, who was on the scoresheet once again.
The Dutchman said: "I think the story should be about Hugo Ekitike scoring another goal for us. He has been three games with us now, scored three goals, impacted the games he played.
"This is not the place to talk about anything other than that."
Liverpool are back in Premier League action this weekend when they welcome Mikel Arteta's Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
