Paul Joyce, of The Times, writes: "Whether Arne Slot is pitchside or peering down from on high, the view remains the same.



Liverpool march on relentlessly.

"Another victory, one containing yet another Mohamed Salah assist, continued the procession towards title glory and, increasingly, it is now a question of on what day the mission will be accomplished and what the margin of success will eventually be.

"The Anfield concourses had been packed with supporters at half-time following Arsenal as they squandered more points and that merely added to what became a comfortable night for Slot as he began a two-match touchline ban for improper conduct at the end of the Merseyside derby.

"He sat at the back of the directors’ box alongside assistant Sipke Hulshoff, who is also serving a similar suspension, and could relax a little more when Alexis Mac Allister added to Dominik Szoboszlai’s first opener shortly after the hour mark.

"Liverpool’s lead is now a gaping 13 points and though Arsenal have a game in hand that is fast becoming utterly irrelevant given the clinical competence of the leaders.

Arne Slot’s relentless side stretched their Premier League lead to 13 points with 10 games to play courtesy of an assured victory over Newcastle.

'They showed up,' added Slot."

And finally, the ECHO's Liverpool verdict goes: "The 51st minute was ticking by on the Anfield scoreboard when this famous old venue was serenaded, for the first time this season, by Liverpool fans now firmly believing that the Premier League title was on its way.

As the news filtered through of Arsenal's goalless draw with Nottingham Forest, with the score at 1-0 here against Newcastle United, Reds supporters, just like Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk had called for ahead of kick-off, began to turn the volume up.

"A 2-0 victory in the end, secured thanks to goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, was enough to open up what is now a 13-point chasm to Mikel Arteta's Gunners, and the patrons of Anfield have nothing but conviction that the final 10 games will be negotiated without falter.
