Jetro Willems Scores A Thunderbolt Goal For Newcastle Against Liverpool At Anfield

Newcastle left-back Jetro Willems unleashed a rocket of a strike to beat Adrian and deal an early blow to Liverpool at Anfield.

Christian Atsu brought down a long ball nicely and perfectly slotted it into the path of Willems out on the left.

And the 25-year-old Dutch defender cut the ball inside of Trent Alexander-Arnold before firing a thunderous shot into the top-right corner of the net.

And Newcastle fans have flooded social media with praise for his superb technique and excellent finish.

According to Squawka, Willems has scored his first Premier League goal with his first shot on target in the competition.

The Magpies signed the Netherlands international on a season-long loan from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, with the option to make the deal permanent.

Newcastle hold a 1-0 lead over Liverpool thanks to Willems' strike in the seventh minute.

Will Liverpool pull back an equaliser before half-time?

UPDATE #1: Liverpool have successfully mounted a first-half comeback and take a 2-1 lead into the second half after Sadio Mane's brace.

UPDATE #2: Mohamed Salah added his name to the scoresheet to complete Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Newcastle at Anfield.
