Liverpool secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park in a Premier League match on August 25, 2025. The match saw Liverpool take an early lead through Ryan Gravenberch, who scored his second Premier League goal, despite Newcastle dominating much of the game. Newcastle managed to come back and equalize twice, even after being reduced to 10 men. The winning goal came in the 100th minute from 16-year-old Liverpool debutant Rio Ngumoha, who scored his first Premier League goal just minutes after coming off the bench. Ngumoha's goal not only secured the win but also made him the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool's 133-year history and the fourth youngest scorer in Premier League history at 16 years and 361 days. He is only the second 16-year-old to score a match-winning goal in the Premier League, following Wayne Rooney in 2002. Ngumoha's performance has drawn widespread attention, with Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot praising his impactful cameo. The young winger, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea amid contractual disputes, is seen as a promising talent with a bright future at Anfield. Liverpool's victory came after they had let slip a two-goal advantage against a resilient Newcastle side.
