In the second week of the English Premier League, Liverpool faced Newcastle United away from home. Arne Slot's side, who dropped points at St. James' Park last season after conceding a goal in the 90th minute, were the ones celebrating a winning goal in stoppage time this time around. The Reds took a 1-0 lead in the 35th minute with a goal from Gravenberch, and the first half ended with that scoreline.
Liverpool began the second half with a goal from their new striker, Ekitike. The French footballer has managed to find the back of the net in all 3 official matches he has played for his new team. The hosts reduced the deficit to 1 in the 57th minute with a goal scored by Bruno Guimaraes. Following the goal, Newcastle, forced into consecutive substitutions due to injuries, found the equalizer in the 88th minute. Will Osula celebrated a goal just 12 minutes after coming on.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot brought 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha into the game during stoppage time. In the 90+10th minute, during an organized attack developing through the center, Ngumoha found the net with a placed shot inside the penalty area.
Liverpool won 3-2 away at Newcastle United, rising to 6 points in their 2nd match of the new season. The Magpies remained on 1 point.
