An own goal by Martin Skrtel and a late counter leading to a goal by Georginio Wijnaldum sealed a much needed win for Newcastle United playing at home to Liverpool. Twitter reacted to this surprising result, with most people calling it a reality check for the Reds.

The gods of football assigned six goals to Liverpool this week, they chose to score it all against Southampton. Who is to blame? #SSFootball

A big banana skin, we duly obliged & slipped on it. Looked and felt like a home performance. Newcastle were excellent. Reality check… #LFC

Dose of reality for #LFC hysterics. Klopp’s good, but it’ll take 12 months at least for his ideas to be embedded & that remains a poor squad a James Clark (@MotoClark) December 6, 2015

It also provided a chance for rival club fans to take a dig and even a conspiracy theory…
We’ve drawn 0-0 in 5/9 games, yet Liverpool have still managed to go 3 points further behind us in their ‘title challenger’ form. ?Y a Georgie (@FutbolSloth) December 6, 2015
All part of the cunning plan. Chelsea now 2 points off relegation. #LFC

But in the end Liverpool fans do realize that it’s one blimp in an otherwise good period.
Just one of those days, that. Not a great game but nothing another good run of results won’t fix. #LFC
