Liverpool player ratings vs Newcastle: 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha’s 100th-minute winner helps Reds claim barely deserved victory after Magpies bravely fight back from Anthony Gordon red card

Rio Ngumoha’s stoppage-time winner secured Liverpool an incredible 3-2 victory over a fearless Newcastle United side who played the majority of the game with 10 men.

Newcastle were dominating the Premier League fixture until Ryan Gravenberch’s sucker punch goal from 25 yards stunned the home crowd in the 35th minute. Gordon was then sent off following a VAR review for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk to rub more salt into the wound.

Former Newcastle transfer target Ekitike made it 2-0 with a sumptuous shot 20 seconds into the second half but the home side’s hopes were rekindled thanks to Bruno Guimaraes’ pinpoint header in the 57th minute. The Toon then drew level two minutes from time when William Osula capitalised on some poor defending, but the 16-year-old Reds substitute had the last laugh with a stunning winner in the 100th minute.
