Jamie Carragher was covering the Newcastle 2 Liverpool 3 match on Monday night.

An incredible game where there was only one team that deserved to win.

Jamie Carragher is Liverpool through and through, a fan and former player.

However, he was brutally honest after the final whistle.

Despite obviously wanting the visitors to win, Jamie Carragher giving this brilliant summing up on Sky Sports of what we all watched:

“I think what we have seen tonight, is possibly one of the worst performances from a winning team and one of the best performances from a losing team.

“Liverpool won’t care right now, of course, they will be absolutely ecstatic.

“But Eddie Howe’s men tonight were absolutely outstanding.

“It did seem like it was over at 2-0…

“But that crowd, that intensity they played with, I actually fear what the score might have been if it had been 11 vs 11.

“I think Newcastle would have won the game.

“They were far better than Liverpool in every aspect.”

Jamie Carragher brilliantly sums up what the truth was last night and as a Newcastle United fan, you can only be proud of Eddie Howe and his players for what they gave us on Monday night.
