Liverpool will be travelling to St James’ Park to play their second game of the season against Newcastle United who are the host, Newcastle United ended their last game with a draw against Aston villa which wasn't funny because at 66 minutes of the game they played 10 against 11 but despite that they couldn't be able to penetrate and that is how the game ends up draw. I don't think they could be able to win tonight because the opponent they are facing are the current champions and they are still on their best form.
Newcastle United were completely dominated by Liverpool, and their position was severely disadvantaged. A Newcastle player was sent off for a red card in the final minutes of the first half, leaving them reduced to 10 men for the second half.
Ekitike was a surprise; the new Liverpool player truly showed his incredible potential, scoring again for Liverpool just a minute into the second half. Another surprise came from Guimaraes, who scored against Liverpool, reducing the score to 2-1. The match was still far from over and now entering the crucial minutes, anything was possible, including a draw.
Liverpool have equalized the goal on the 88th minutes to balance the scoreline 2-2. Newcastle looks stronger playing with ten men than when they were initially playing with 11 men. They have been aggressive in this second half and they were able to work out two goals from nothing.
This is quite an incredible display tonight from Newcastle. Liverpool should work on themselves because they easily lose focus when they are been pressured. If this match ends in a draw, it will favor Newcastle more than Liverpool who is trying their possible best to defend the title.
