Sixteen-year-old Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th minute winner on his Premier League debut when Liverpool 10-man Newcastle United beat 3-2 in a badly helled match in St James' Park.
Ngumoha chose the far corner after a smart dummy by Dominik Szoboszlai to silence a raw crowd on Tyneside, where Liverpool seemed to have thrown two points away.
In the midst of continuous speculation that Alexander Isak Newcastle could leave for the Premier League champions, Monday's game was played in a fiery atmosphere.
Anthony Gordon was sent away for an unnecessary failure on Virgil van Dijk in the first half of the stop time, after Ryan Gravenberch's long -distance drive Liverpool posted in the 35th minute.
And when Hugo Ekitike-a former target in Newcastle side against the left post and only 20 seconds in the second half, the Reds were in Cruise Control.
The header of Bruno Guimaraes, however, halved the overdue overdue payments in the 57th minute, and Liverpool was forced to defend a barrel of crosses while Newcastle continued.
They seemed to have achieved a point in the 88th minute, because then Burn's film at the replacement William Osula allowed to peel Ibrahima Konate and Prod Home.
But after being introduced in the stopping time for six minutes, Ngumoha was the hero and Pope made a self -assured finish after Szoboszlai let Mohamed Salah go through to him.
While Liverpool joins Tottenham and Arsenal – their next opponents – on maximum points, Newcastle's waiting continues for a victory.
They are 15th in the table with a single point, prior to what should be a busy end to the transfer window.

Data Debrief: Ngumoha replicates Rooney
Ngumoha only becomes 17 years old on Friday and he is now the fourth-young goal scorer in the history of Premier League.
Only James Vaughan (16 years, 270 days), James Milner (16 years, 356 days) and Wayne Rooney (16 years, 360 days) scored at a younger age than Ngumoha.
In the meantime, only Rooney has scored a winning goal at a younger age, famous to fire Everton for the victory against Arsenal in October 2002. Rooney was a day older than Ngumoha on that day.
Ngumoha also became the youngest Premier League goalkeeper in Liverpool, and he could hardly have chosen a more dramatic way to get off the goal.
Timed at 99 minutes and 44 seconds, his strike was the fourth master winner of the Premier League on record, and the last one since Cole Palmer hit Chelsea in April 2024 against Manchester United (100: 41).
