Liverpool secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over 10-man Newcastle United at St James’ Park on August 25, 2025, thanks to a stoppage-time winner by 16-year-old substitute Rio Ngumoha. Newcastle played the second half with ten men after Anthony Gordon was sent off just before halftime. Liverpool led 2-0 early in the second half with goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike, but Newcastle fought back with Bruno Guimarães and William Osula scoring to level the match. After extended injury time due to Newcastle injuries, Ngumoha made his Premier League debut six minutes into added time and scored the winning goal four minutes later, becoming the fourth youngest scorer in Premier League history. The match was marked by intense play and a backdrop of controversy surrounding Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who was absent amid transfer speculation. Liverpool remains one of three teams with two wins from two games this season, while Newcastle has one point from two matches. (Updated 26 Aug 2025, 07:12 IST; source: link)
