¡Locura en la Premier! Joven de 16 años le da el triunfo al Liverpool con golazo al último segundo ante el Newcastle https://t.co/LhGSyigeHj
Liverpool preserved their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 3–2 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park, sealed by 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha’s strike in the 100th minute. The champions had appeared in control when Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring from distance on 35 minutes and Hugo Ekitike doubled the lead moments after half-time. Newcastle were reduced to 10 men when Anthony Gordon was dismissed in first-half stoppage time, yet the hosts rallied: Bruno Guimarães pulled one back on 57 minutes and substitute William Osula levelled in the 88th. Jürgen Klopp introduced Ngumoha in added time, and the academy forward met a Mohamed Salah cross to convert his first senior goal four minutes after coming on. At 16 years and 361 days, he becomes the youngest scorer in Liverpool’s 133-year history and the Premier League’s fourth-youngest overall. The result leaves Liverpool with two wins from two matches, while Newcastle remain on one point. The late drama extends Liverpool’s winning run against the Magpies and underscores the champion’s squad depth early in the 2025-26 campaign.
