Liverpool won 2-0 as Cardiff City on Sunday's Day 35 of the English Football Championship, so he was ahead of Manchester City again.
The goals of Jürgen Klopp's head coach were Georginio Wijnaldum and James Milner. With the recent defeat of the Welsh, the retention of Newcastle United became mathematically secure.
Manchester United's afternoon defeat could not be exploited by Arsenal, the champion league start-up leader, who got home 3-2 from Crystal Palace in the midfield. The latter won only a third time after the 1970s and 1994s in the Gunners' Home.
