All eyes were on North East England on Monday as Liverpool<\/a> visited Newcastle United<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a> and amid an emotional backdrop, the defending champions emerged with a dramatic 3-2 win.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere was turbo-charged before kickoff given the uncertainty around Alexander Isak<\/a>‘s future, with the Newcastle striker linked all summer long to a Liverpool<\/a> move, to the extent that he’s now training separately from the team while things are sorted out. Things went from bad to worse for Newcastle when, after a raucous opening half-hour, Liverpool took the lead via Ryan Gravenberch<\/a>, who fired in a low shot that snuck inside Nick Pope<\/a>‘s near post.<\/p>\n

With the score 1-0, Liverpool were further boosted by a red card to Anthony Gordon<\/a>, the stand-in forward in Isak’s absence. His late slide on Virgil van Dijk<\/a> was initially seen as a yellow card offense, though it was upgraded to red upon VAR review before half-time. Then, within 30 seconds of the second half kick-off, Liverpool doubled their lead as Hugo Ekitike<\/a> coolly finished inside the area after Newcastle lost possession.<\/p>\n

Game over, right? Think again. Bruno Guimar\u00e3es<\/a>‘ header from a set piece made it 2-1 and with a wave of pressure in the final 10 minutes, the hosts equalized as William Osula<\/a> snuck in to finish past Alisson after a long free kick was flicked on and fell kindly for the Magpies’ substitute.<\/p>\n

Then, as if that wasn’t dramatic enough, teenage sub Rio Ngumoha<\/a> came on in injury time and finished brilliantly with a first-time, side-footed finish after ghosting into the penalty area and running onto Mo Salah’s low cross. It was a stunning end to a pulsating game in which no love was lost and three points went to Arne Slot’s Reds.<\/p>\n
