Overview

• Debutant Rio Ngumoha, aged 16 years and 361 days, became Liverpool’s youngest-ever scorer with a composed finish in the 100th minute.
• Liverpool led 2-0 through Ryan Gravenberch’s 35th-minute strike and Hugo Ekitike’s goal seconds after the restart.
• Anthony Gordon was dismissed for serious foul play following a VAR review in first-half stoppage time, leaving Newcastle with 10 men.
• Newcastle rallied through Bruno Guimarães (57') and substitute Will Osula (88') before Ngumoha’s late winner sealed the points.
• Liverpool move to six points from two games as Newcastle count injuries to Sandro Tonali, Joelinton and Fabian Schär, a looming ban for Gordon, and ongoing uncertainty over Isak after a rejected £110m bid and reported owner-level talks.
