Dan Burn and Alexander Isak scored either side of half-time as not even a late Federico Chiesa consolation could disguise a dismal Reds display that ended in a 2-1 defeat at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.

The result means Arne Slot must wait for his first honour as Reds boss with his team 12 points clear at the Premier League summit with nine games now remaining.

Here the ECHO rates the Liverpool players after their abject efforts allowed Newcastle to claim a first domestic honour in 70 years.

Some good stops second half.

Jarell Quansah 7

One heavy touch that almost let in Isak aside, stuck to his task up against Barnes and one decent foray forward first half.

The only Liverpool starter who approached his usual level and spent much of the last 15 minutes playing nearer the Newcastle box.

Andy Robertson 5

Two good blocks to deny Isak and Trippier and at least attempted to inject some energy into Liverpool’s play, but beaten by Murphy at far post for second Newcastle goal.

Ryan Gravenberch 4

Another worrying below-par before interval in which he seemed jaded both in mind and body.

Subbed.

Alexis Mac Allister 5

At least tried to get Liverpool going with his passing but too easily knocked off ball on occasion and shouldn’t really be marking Burn at corners.

Subbed.

Darwin Nunez (for Jota 57) 4

One heavy touch inside the area and then extremely anonymous.

Curtis Jones (for Konate 57) 5

Shot saved by Pope and brought some energy to Liverpool efforts

Over with another effort.

Cody Gakpo (for Mac Allister 67) 4

Put one cross in but clearly unfit.

Federico Chiesa (for Gravenberch 74) 7

Lively enough cameo and took his goal very well.

Harvey Elliott (for Diaz 74) 7

Provided some rare quality in possession for Liverpool and excellent assist for Chiesa strike.
