Jamie Carragher could not comprehend himself when Liverpool took a 100th minute winner in St James' Park, with images of his euphoric reaction in the Sky Sports Studio that went viral on Monday evening.
The former defender of Liverpool jumped out of his chair, hit the sky and repeatedly shouted “Oh my God!” After teenage player Rio Ngumoha, the decisive goal slid home to seal a 3-2 victory.
Carragher then turned in unbelieving on Monday evening football colleagues and early: “Is this the biggest game in the Premier League history?” Before withdrawing from the camera.
It was a time when the chaos of a thunderous evening summarized on Tyneside, where Liverpool, despite the fact that he had a man for the entire second half after the red card of Anthony Gordon, threw a lead of two goals away by Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike.
Newcastle had organized a spicy comeback, with Bruno Guimaraes who pulled a back and William Osula replacing an 88th -minute equalizer, who appeared jubilation in St James' park.
But the champions refused to be refused and the Ngumoha strike sealed the points in the last seconds.
Carragher's reaction became just as well part of the night as the goal itself. The clip has since become viral and shows him that he is jumping in the studio, waving arms while he called 'oh my God' before he drops back into his chair in disbelief.
For Newcastle, the defeat was again a painful blow in a summer that is already dominated by unrest.
Alexander Isak, their star -striker, continues to strike an attempt to force a move to Liverpool and probably looked from home after releasing a bomb statement last week accusing the club of 'broken promises' and 'loss of trust'.
Newcastle rejected an offer of £ 110 million from the champions earlier this month and has so far not been able to find the reinforcements with which they can consider his sale. Co-owner Jamie Reuben and a PIF delegation even visited Isak in his house in Northumberland prior to the game in an attempt to convince him back in the team.
But with bids for Wolven -striker Jorgen Strand Larsen and Brentford's Yoane Wissa fall short, the side of Eddie Howe looks more and more stretched. Club chairman Yasir al-Rahalyyan was present to witness the last setback, and the pressure is set up while the transfer window is tapping.
For Liverpool van Arne Slot, the dramatic victory was a different declaration of intent in their title defense, sealed by a 16-year-old who looks destined for star row. The match-winning contribution of the winger saw him become the youngest Premier League goalkeeper of the Reds.
