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.
It was quite surprising but in the end Liverpool did not let the points be divided with Newcastle and scored an additional goal in minutes of added time so it was a valuable minute for Liverpool, indeed Liverpool's performance was not optimal and the red card was in their favor but even so we can't ignore the fact that Newcastle is not an easy opponent this club has a solid defense so they tried to defend as hard as they could so I understand if Liverpool had difficulty beating Newcastle but in the end he was able to beat Newcastle.
