Reduced to 10 from half an hour into the game, the Liverpool players won on the lawn of Newcastle this Sunday.
Shock of contenders for the Champions League this Sunday at Saint-James’ Park. 4th last season, Newcastle received the 5th Liverpool for the account of the 3rd day of the Premier League. After a very vigorous start to the match marked by numerous duels, the Reds will experience a real nightmare. Not in his match, Trent Alexander-Arnold let slip a back pass which Anthony Gordon took advantage of to crucify Alisson and open the scoring. (1-0, 25th).

Liverpool’s defense is derailed
In the aftermath, it is Virgil Van Dijk who is at fault. The Dutch international fouls Alexander Isak who was heading towards goal and receives a red card. At 11 against 10, the Magpies accentuated their domination and created new goal opportunities, Almiron in particular forcing Alisson into a superb save on a heavy recovery.
The Reds with courage
In the second period, Newcastle dominates the debates but does not materialize and ends up letting Jürgen Klopp’s men regain confidence. Pushed by their entrants, they even end up equalizing thanks to Darwin Nunez’s first goal of the season, well launched by Diogo Jota even if his pass ricochets off Sven Botman. (1-1, 81st)

Outnumbered for more than an hour, the Liverpool players even snatched victory thanks to a double from Darwin Nunez who crucified Newcastle in the 93rd minute by converting a service from Mohamed Salah. The Reds are doing the right thing this weekend by coming back up to West Ham, Tottenham and Arsenal while Newcastle chain a second defeat in a row.
