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.
The last minutes goal for Liverpool was a shocker to Newcastle at the moment they had thought it was all going to end in a 2:2 draw, a result which would have favoured Newcastle the more because they were playing a 10 man team. Scoring 2 goals with a red card against the defending champions Liverpool, I think Newcastle actually tried and should be applauding for that. The Liverpool defense too wasn't looking good which was why Newcastle could have gotten those 2 goals, which is something that should catch Arne Slot attention to find a solution for that this season. It wasn't a convincing win actually.
