Steven Taylor: Newcastle's 6-0 Liverpool defeat like family death
Newcastle defender Steven Taylor has likened their humiliating 6-0 home defeat by Liverpool to a family death.
The result was Newcastle's heaviest home defeat since 1925, and left them five points above 17th-placed Wigan, having played one game more.
Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson scored twice while Newcastle's Mathieu Debuchy was sent off with the scoreline at 5-0, and a number of disgruntled home fans registered their disappointment by leaving the ground early.

Not only were Alan Pardew's men comprehensively beaten, but they were reduced to 10 men late on when Mathieu Debuchy saw red after receiving two yellow cards.
The result means Newcastle are still five points clear of the drop zone, but both Wigan and Aston Villa have the chance to narrow that should they both win their games in-hand.
After the game we asked fans to rate each of the Newcastle United players on their performance against Liverpool.
