Sixteen-Year-Old Ngumoha Seals 100th-Minute Winner for Liverpool at Newcastle

The victory keeps Arne Slot’s side unbeaten heading into a home test against Arsenal.

Overview

Ryan Gravenberch struck in the 35th minute and Hugo Ekitike added an early second-half goal to put Liverpool 2-0 up before Anthony Gordon was sent off for a challenge on Virgil van Dijk.
Newcastle responded through Bruno Guimaraes on 57 minutes and substitute William Osula in the 88th to make it 2-2.
Debutant Rio Ngumoha, 16, swept in Mohamed Salah’s cross in the 100th minute after a Dominik Szoboszlai dummy to clinch the 3-2 win at St James’ Park.
Ngumoha’s strike reportedly makes him the Premier League’s fourth-youngest scorer and only the second 16-year-old after Wayne Rooney to net a match-winner.
Liverpool record back-to-back league wins, while Eddie Howe must plan for Leeds without Gordon, who now faces suspension.
