Newcastle United hosted Liverpool. Liverpool started the match well but the hosts managed to take the lead. Newcastle took a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute, but they couldn't make the most of their opponent's 10 men in the 28th minute. Playing 62 minutes with 10 men, Liverpool got a very important win away from home. With 10 men, it is not easy to make a comeback in such a tough match. Liverpool won the match with Nunez's goals in the 81st and 90+3rd minutes and scored an important 3 points. Thanks to Nunez, they almost won back the lost match.
I must admit that if nunez has been getting amazing positioning against newcastle. It needs only less than 15 minutes for him to scoring another goal. I am really aware if the newcastle defenders were making some mistakes. They were focusing in attacking liverpool while the defenders were not even trying to focusing their eyes on nunez. Newcastle was always performing so well during the first half but it will not able to play better for the second half. The substitutions have been making the club was dropping so hard.
Im seeing howe's face and he looked like very frustrated with the wrong decision by substitutd tonalli and gordon. The quality owned by barnes is far below gordon. Howe can't hide his disappoinment with the result got by newcastle.
What happened at St James' Park was dramatic, previously I bet on Liverpool to win and at the end of the first half I decided not to watch this game anymore after seeing the difference in the team's performance which was quite significant in the first half and also Liverpool had lost 1 player and conceded 1 goal, I think it's impossible for them to turn things around against a strong team like Newcastle.
But the news that I just amazed me with, I didn't see Nunez's performance this season but after what he did in this match makes me think that this player is slowly recovering (not as bad as last season).
It seems that the tactics and rhythm of the game have changed for the Newcastle team after they made a substitution so that this moment could be used by Liverpool to turn things around.
After Liverpool were trailing by one goal to Newcastle in the first half of their English Premier League game away at Newcastle and Vigil van Dijk received a red car just three minutes later, a Liverpool faithful who was watching the ball with me went on live betting and staked a bet that Liverpool are gonna win the game in full time.
I advised him not to take such risk because of the quality of football that Newcastle has been putting out since the start of last season but little did I know that Darwin Nunez will come as a late substitute in the 77th to score two spectacular goals to win the game for the reds. Clinical performance from the Uruguayan yesterday to help his club claim all three points
