Liverpool 'anger at Premier League' emerges after 33-minute Newcastle robbery reviewed

Liverpool are said to be frustrated with the Premier League after having "little choice" but to return to Merseyside from Newcastle on Saturday night following their 2-0 Premier League win at St James' Park. Just weeks after Green Football Weekend, an initiative designed to help tackle climate change, the Reds have found themselves heavily criticized after making the return journey to Liverpool by air.

The journey, approximately 280km, would take up to three hours by car or coach, but with Real Madrid top of the Champions League on Tuesday, Liverpool were taking no chances.

It only became apparent that Liverpool were traveling by plane when Trent Alexander-Arnold posted a selfie with Jordan Henderson on his Instagram, a photo that has since drawn public criticism on social media.

Liverpool haven't turned a blind eye to climate change, however, despite flying back to Merseyside from Tyneside.
