"Who knows what Isak would have made of game that was low on quality but packed with just about everything else, and settled in the 110th minute by Rio Ngumoha, who became the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool's history at 16 years and 361 days. It was a sensational evening, not fashioned from classic football, but by the emotions charged by what is now assuming all the contents for a classic, long-running feud."
"Newcastle looked down and out as Liverpool led 2-0 within 30 seconds of the second-half restart, but the champions wobbled in the most alarming fashion as Eddie Howe's side defied their numerical disadvantage to draw level through captain Bruno Guimaraes and substitute Will Osula, who struck in the 88th minute. Ngumoha provided the final twist in the plot, but this barely touched the sides of how Liverpool walked into a storm of Geordie ill-feeling and somehow came out victorious, despite their own worst efforts."
Newcastle and Liverpool played a dramatic match that combined low-quality play with high emotion, culminating in Rio Ngumoha's 110th-minute winner. Ngumoha became Liverpool's youngest goalscorer at 16 years and 361 days. Liverpool led 2-0 shortly after the second-half restart before Newcastle rallied to level through Bruno Guimaraes and substitute Will Osula in the 88th minute. The match was intensified by a transfer saga over Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, with tensions fueled by Liverpool's reported bids and their signing of another Newcastle transfer target. The rivalry echoed past classic encounters and feels resurgent.
