What a game, three sweet points. Liverpool are the best team to win not just with everyone but with 10 men. You could say this is a big win to increase the confidence of Liverpool's players to face this season. Now they have pocketed seven points, only two points behind Man City, a good initial consideration to be able to compete in the EPL league. If you look at Nunez in that match, he seems to have learned the game from the bench and produced two shots on target and both resulted in goals. This is very cool.
Newcastle lost the match against 10 people at home, what a big mistake the Newcastle coach made when starting the second half he started to defend with only one goal ahead, how great the performance of 10 Liverpool people and never gave up.
Nunez is in doubt, but he was a big hero for Liverpool in today's game. Visiting the St james Park stadium is certainly not an easy matter to steal full points at home to Newcastle United because Newcastle United impressed last season. The course of this match we were surprised by the red card received by Van Dijk which made Liverpool have to play with 10 players in this match. Newcastle United played better in the first half by pressing hard on Liverpool from the early minutes and in the 25th minute Gordon was able to score a goal and bring Newcastle United to a 1-0 lead until the end of the first half.
But in the second half of the game they tended to be more aggressive in attack and lost their good defensive form so that when there was a counter attack they failed to break which made Nunez comfortably score an equalizer. Not long after, Nunez scored the second goal which made Liverpool close this match by winning. I think Eddie Howe was quite disappointed with the appearance of his team in the second half because they failed to maintain the advantage they which should get 3 points.
