This was a surprising result following how late Newcastle equalized and it would have been easier to have ruled the game off as a draw. Liverpool didn’t play at their best today, the red card was all it took to give them the advantage but even then, Newcastle was such a challenge in the end, they just were unable to take the lead or hold the game in a draw. Ekitike has gone to be such a force in Liverpool, has scored in both Liverpool games thus far.
Gordon's red card makes Newcastle games no longer effective so that it makes them not have a balance to fight Liverpool.
The first half is quite balanced, but everything began to change after a red card.
Luckily for Liverpool, they managed to score a winning goal in additional time through Ngumoha so that they could secure three points.
Gakpo is far more instrumental in Liverpool's victory in this fight, although Ekitice also displays stunning performance.
