Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admitted frustration after defeat to Liverpool.

The visitors won 2-0 via goals from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, with Newcastle keeper Nick Pope also being sent off.

Howe later said, "A lot happened in the game, a good start from us and we had the first chance in the game. We conceded two goals which is unlike us. I was disappointed with the goals, I thought we need to look back at them.

"Against these sorts of teams that's the last thing you want to see especially with the scoreline. I feel really sorry for Nick [Pope]. It's a very difficult one, he's come out and slightly misjudged the ball, I suppose technically it is a handball, I don't know the rules on the red card.

"I thought it was on the angle with defenders retreating to our goal but that was given. I thought the reaction to that sending off was brilliant from the team. I thought we stayed in the game and were competitive, we created chances and I felt if we could get the next goal we had a route back into the game but that never happened.

"I've had spells like this in my managerial career where you create chances and the goals don't come. But I back the players to come out of it, we've got too much quality not to."
