Match Day Commentary of Liverpool v Newcastle with Steve Hunter
Dietmar Hamann intercepts a Newcastle clearance and drives forward into the penalty area, and from a tight angle neatly angles a shot past the despairing dive of Shay Given for 1-0
Michael Owen scores his first goal of the season from the penalty spot at the Kop end. Owen missed a lot of chances in the match but strides up to send Shay Given the wrong way to make it 2-0.
Craig Bellamy finds all sorts of space down the left and crosses to the unmarked Gary Speed who scores for Newcastle.
Gerard Houllier called it a typical Liverpool v Newcastle game and he was right. Goals from Hamann and Owen saw Liverpool lead 2-0 but two goals in 11 minutes brought Newcastle level. Liverpool also missed a lot of good chances.
