Hugo Ekitike Takes Liverpool Comparison Even Further as Newcastle Left to Regret Snub
Hugo Ekitike scored twice as Liverpool overturned an early deficit to win 4-1, exploiting Newcastle’s defensive errors and failed transfer pursuit, the champions' second half dominance decisive.
- On Saturday, Liverpool overturned Anthony Gordon's first-half lead to beat Newcastle at Anfield, securing the win, as the Magpies' recent struggles continue.
- The summer transfer battle over Ekitike saw Newcastle pursue him, but he joined Liverpool, where Florian Wirtz has developed an understanding with the forward, reminiscent of past Anfield pairings.
- Shortly before half-time, Ekitike scored twice in two minutes after Wirtz beat two men to tee up the first and Thiaw’s slack pass led to Liverpool’s third.
- With a second successive defeat, Newcastle sit on one point from nine and trail the top five by six points, while the scoreboard incident late in the game highlights their decline.
- After the summer wrangle, Hugo Ekitike has emerged as the new Kop favourite, lifting Liverpool amid poor Premier League form despite their midweek win over Qarabag.
