The match began with an unexpected twist as Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had already received an early yellow card, inadvertently gifted Newcastle United the lead in the 25th minute. A mis-controlled ball allowed Anthony Gordon to capitalise and slide it past goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
Liverpool’s situation took a further blow just after two minutes later when Virgil van Dijk was shown a straight red card by referee John Brooks for a challenge on Alexander Isak just outside the penalty area. With the home side down to ten men, Newcastle seemed poised to break their 13-game winless streak against Liverpool in the Premier League.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Liverpool maintained dominance in possession. However, they struggled to seal the match in their favour. The game’s narrative took a dramatic twist in the 81st minute when Darwin Nunez, who had come off the bench, delivered a crucial equaliser, rekindling Liverpool’s hopes.
In an exhilarating climax, Nunez replicated his magic in stoppage time, scoring a nearly identical goal to secure a last-minute victory for Liverpool, securing all three points in a remarkable comeback.
