Liverpool's 16-year-old debutant Rio Ngumoha scored the match-winning goal in stoppage time after Newcastle's Anthony Gordon was sent off following a VAR review.
- On Monday at St James' Park, Liverpool Football Club secured a 3-2 win thanks to a stoppage-time goal by 16-year-old Liverpool debutant Rio Ngumoha.
- After a VAR review, referee Simon Hooper upgraded Anthony Gordon's yellow card to a red for a challenge on Virgil van Dijk, reducing Newcastle United to ten men.
