Overview

• Ngumoha became Liverpool’s youngest goalscorer by striking a 100th‑minute winner on his Premier League debut in a 3-2 victory at St James’ Park.
• Alexander Isak did not feature as he pushes to leave for Liverpool, with Newcastle having rejected an earlier £110m offer and Eddie Howe calling for clarity on his future.
• Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben and Public Investment Fund representatives have met Isak at his home in a bid to convince him to stay, according to multiple reports.
• Newcastle’s search for forwards has stumbled, including a rejected £50m bid for Jorgen Strand Larsen, as injuries and Anthony Gordon’s red-card suspension increase pressure.
• Liverpool’s summer intake includes Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, with Ekitike scoring in each of his first three games, while Chelsea’s sale of Carney Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund pushed their outgoing total past £270m.
