Divock Origi's winner at Newcastle sparks Liverpool legend's priceless celebration - as former rival left shellshocked

You just cannot make this Premier League title race up. Liverpool fans were again left feeling delirious and shattered after a dramatic 3-2 win at Newcastle United.

Just like against Everton at Anfield and away at Southampton, Liverpool struck late on when it seemed like they were certain to drop crucial points in the race for the Premier League trophy.

The Reds are fighting tooth and nail for their first title in 29 years and now they lead Manchester City by two points. But the Blues know they have it in their hands with two games left.

Man City can retain their league title by defeating Leicester City on Monday and Brighton next Sunday, while the Reds host Wolves on the final day.

But for now, Liverpool fans can revel in the fact that the title race will go down to the final day. And just to make this win even sweeter, Liverpool legend John Barnes provided the perfect reaction to Divock Origi's late winner.

What makes this even better for Liverpool fans is the reaction from Everton legend Andy Gray just to the right of him.
