Cabaye opened the scoring with a stunning first-half goal, but was later substituted.

The France international, whose injury was today being assessed by the club’s medical team, has already been ruled out of Thursday night’s Europa League game against Club Brugge.

Newcastle also lost James Perch and Demba Ba to injuries in the game.

Cabaye: “It’s special to score at Anfield, but I would have preferred the goal got us three points.

“We want to look forward and push up the table.

“It was difficult for us. I think a point here is a good point.”

“I felt a tight hamstring.

“I don’t think it’s too bad, but I prefer to come off the pitch.

“We have a lot of important games, and I don’t want to risk making it worse. I don’t know yet – we’ll see.

“The goal we conceded was an easy goal.

“If we played the counter attack better, we wouldn’t have been in trouble.

“At the end, I think a point here is a good point, but we prefer the three points.

“It was hard. We had a big, big pressure from Liverpool, but they didn’t turn this into a goal.”
