Overview

• Rio Ngumoha became Liverpool’s youngest-ever goalscorer, striking on his Premier League debut in the 100th minute at St James’ Park.
• Anthony Gordon was sent off after a VAR review late in the first half; Hugo Ekitike scored 23 seconds into the second half for his third goal in three games before Bruno Guimarães and Will Osula leveled it late.
• Alexander Isak was left out as he pushes for a move, with Newcastle having rejected a reported £110m Liverpool bid; Eddie Howe said he is not party to talks and called for clarity.
• Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan attended the match, and minority owner Jamie Reuben was reported to have met Isak earlier in the day in an effort to resolve the standoff.
• Howe flagged fresh concerns with injuries to Sandro Tonali, Joelinton and Fabian Schär and the impending suspension for Gordon, underscoring thin attacking options without Isak.
