Teenager Rio Ngumoha Strikes in 100th Minute as Liverpool Edge Newcastle in Dramatic 3-2 Win

Posted : 26 August 2025

Liverpool needed a dramatic 100th-minute strike from teenage prodigy Rio Ngumoha to clinch a 3-2 victory over Newcastle United, after nearly surrendering a two-goal advantage in a pulsating Premier League clash on Monday night.

 

The champions looked in control when Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring before new signing Hugo Ekitike — a long-time Newcastle target — doubled the lead. The hosts’ troubles deepened when Anthony Gordon was sent off for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk.

 

Despite being reduced to 10 men, Newcastle rallied in front of a raucous home crowd. Bruno Guimaraes pulled one back before William Osula leveled the contest, sparking belief of an unlikely comeback. But the Magpies’ hopes were crushed deep into stoppage time when Ngumoha, just 16 years old, produced a decisive finish to secure all three points for Liverpool.

 

The win leaves Liverpool tied at the top of the table with Tottenham and Arsenal, who they face at Anfield next weekend in a potential early title-shaping clash.

 

For Newcastle, the defeat compounds a difficult start to the season. Star striker Alexander Isak remains absent amid speculation over a possible record-breaking transfer, with Liverpool among the frontrunners to secure his signature. The Magpies’ frustrations have been heightened by missing out on Ekitike, who instead chose to join the Reds and made an immediate impact.

 

Manager Arne Slot opted for an ultra-attacking setup, fielding Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah together, with Dominik Szoboszlai forced to cover at right-back. That bold approach paid off in attack but nearly backfired as Newcastle fought back fiercely before Ngumoha’s late heroics settled the contest.
