Arne Slot felt Liverpool showed the desire and hunger of title-winners as they moved another step closer to Premier League glory with a 2-0 win over Newcastle.

Goals in each half from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield on Wednesday took the Reds 13 points clear at the top of the table.
