NEWCASTLE – Liverpool snatched a dramatic 3–2 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park after 16-year-old debutant Rio Ngumoha scored a sensational stoppage-time winner, becoming the youngest goalscorer in the club’s history.
The match saw Liverpool take control early, with Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike putting the visitors 2–0 ahead. Newcastle, despite being reduced to 10 men after Anthony Gordon’s dismissal before halftime, mounted a spirited fightback. Goals from Bruno Guimarães and William Osula brought the game level, setting up a tense finish.
Ngumoha, introduced as a late substitute, wrote his name into Premier League history with a decisive strike in the 100th minute. The teenager’s composed finish not only sealed the victory but also made him the fourth-youngest scorer in league history.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised the youngster’s composure, calling it a “dream debut,” while captain Virgil van Dijk hailed the goal as a defining moment for both the player and the team. The win preserved Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the season and lifted them level on points with Arsenal and Tottenham.
