Liverpool wins with 16-year-old Ngumoha

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.

Liverpool will face Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, August 31, in the 3rd week of the league.
