All of the attention in the build-up to this one was on the Alexander Isak saga and the potential hostility of the crowd at St. James’ Park.
Despite a poor start, Ryan Gravenberch’s effort from outside of the box gave Liverpool the lead. Hugo Ekitike scored 20 seconds into the second half to double that lead to make it three goals in his first three appearances. He’s the first player since Daniel Sturridge in 2013 to achieve that.
Anthony Gordon was sent off for a ridiculous challenge on Virgil van Dijk on the stroke of half-time. But despite the numerical advantage, goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Will Osula shocked the Reds’ backline.
As the game headed into the 100th minute, most had given up hope on a winner. But, 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha had different ideas as he slammed the ball home after some brilliant play from Liverpool - becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer and sealing all three points.
