Howe said the team showed great effort in both halves, with the first half dominated by Newcastle and the second half a challenging but controlled performance with 10 men on the field.
The manager acknowledged the difficulty of playing with 10 men against a top-quality team like Liverpool, but was proud of the team's ability to fight back and create chances.
On Gordon's red card, Howe believed it was a quick and full-blooded challenge, but without any intent to harm the opponent.
Howe also praised William Osula's goal, calling it a great finish and a big moment for the team.
The manager expressed disappointment at conceding the second goal, especially with 10 men on the field, but was proud of the team's overall performance.
