Fabian Schär, who was hit on the head after a collision with Virgil van Dijk and had to be substituted in the 81st minute, missed the crazy final phase: Liverpool decided the game in the 100th minute with a goal from his joker Rio Ngumoha, who came on as a substitute in the 96th minute. The league debutant celebrates his 17th birthday this week. Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who is being courted by Liverpool, was not in the hosts' squad.
Newcastle had to swallow a bitter pill: After Anthony Gordon was sent off in first-half stoppage time, the Magpies found themselves 2-0 down after Hugo Ekitiké scored after the break. In the 88th minute, the score was still 2-2.
However, Liverpool responded like champions. With this victory, their second in two games, the Reds closed the gap on Arsenal and Tottenham at the top of the table. Arne Slot's players welcome the Gunners next Sunday for their first clash of the season.
