Jamie Vardy had a record of scoring or assisting in 15 consecutive games.
The Reds closed the gap on the leaders with a comfortable win over the Magpies, as Mohamed Salah scored his 22nd goal of the season.
The team went behind early on to their struggling opponents when Jonjo Shelvey scored against his former club after a quick break.
The two goals in the space of four minutes put the game out of reach.
The Portuguese took advantage of Martin Dubravka's initial save to score his second goal of the game, but there was some controversy about it because of the injury to Isiah Hayden.
Shelvey gave a backpass to Sadio Mane, who drew a save from Dubravka before he scored.
Allan Saint-Maximin missed a chance to equal Jamie Vardy's record of scoring or assisting in 15 consecutive games when he was denied by Alisson.
Eddie Howe's team improved after the break as the hosts relaxed, but Trent Alexander-Arnold's late strike ended the game as a contest, and the Reds now sit a point behind City.
When they host the league leaders on Sunday, they will have to work hard to stay in the league.
The two players turn on the class.
Even though they were affected by the coronaviruses prior to the game, they were still able to record their 2,000th top-flight win.
The first half was dominated by Jota and Salah, both of whom should have had two goals.
Jordan Henderson and Arnold were able to keep their opponents on the back foot with an array of lofted passes, despite the fact that they chose to sit deep and break on the counter attack.
It was a mistake from Thiago that led to Shelvey's surprise opener, when he clipped passed an unsighted Alisson from 20 yards.
It didn't deter them as they punished the prostrate Hayden and continued their remarkable form with a 22nd goal from 23 appearances this season.
After a left-back injury forced the withdrawal of Jamal Lewis, Roberto Firmino was brought in to replace him.
He took advantage of the combination with Alexander-Arnold, with one pass that left fans drooling.
As their own pace dropped in the second half, they kept their opponents at bay, but as Jota and Mane both missed chances, they were forced to bring on Wilson for the final 15 minutes.
A fine evening's work was aided by the draw at Chelsea, which gave the Reds a three-point advantage over the third-place team.
The controversial goal and fragile defence are costly.
Howe didn't understand how the hosts were awarded a penalty that led to the opening goal in Sunday's loss.
He might have a case to complain about the tying goal.
Jota took advantage of the play being waved on by the referee, after the ball was crossed into the area.
It ruined a great start for the visitors, who rested top scorer Wilson, and opted for a 4-5-1 formation to counter the attack at pace.
The approach helped create Shelvey's opener, even if it came from Thiago's mistake, and the midfielder sprinted the length of the field to celebrate with away fans after his first goal since February.
It was good news for Howe's side, who had another chance to score via Saint-Maximin, but the forward again showed his capacity for making the wrong decision at a crucial point.
Although they appealed for a penalty when they believed Ryan Fraser was brought down by Alexander-Arnold, they couldn't make many clear-cut opportunities to get back in the game.
Howe's tactics looked to be yielding a point before Alexander-Arnold's strike took the game away from the visitors.
The sight of Saint-Maximin hobbling off to be replaced by Wilson was concerning.
