Newcastle United played a magnificent game against Liverpool, playing with ten men for 45 minutes. Look at the statistics, they scored very well for a team playing with ten men. They had more shots than Liverpool. Liverpool had fewer shots, but fortunately, they found the net in the final seconds of extra time through 16-year-old Rio. This gave Liverpool the victory, while Newcastle bore the brunt of the punishment for being down to ten men.
Newcastle really impressed me with how they managed to play in the second half against Liverpool. Not many complete teams can put that much pressure on Liverpool’s back line—but to do it with 10 men? That deserves all the praise Newcastle is receiving in the media right now.
It’s a shame that a last-minute goal happened, because they might have earned the full 3 points. Unfortunately, luck gave them nothing in the end.
