Ibrahima Konate makes Liverpool fan eat his words as Newcastle gameplan falls flat

Hugo Ekitike’s two quick goals and Ibrahima Konate’s emotional return helped Liverpool secure their first Premier League win in over a month, rising to fifth with 39 points.

  • On Saturday, Liverpool came from behind to beat Newcastle United 4-1 at Anfield, with Hugo Ekitike scoring twice to spark the comeback.
  • Newcastle adopted a physical, stop-start approach focused on set-pieces without Bruno Guimaraes, winning three corners in the first seven minutes and seven by the half hour.
  • Ibrahima Konate returned from compassionate leave this month after his father's funeral and scored deep into stoppage time, moving to tears and being mobbed by teammates.
  • Ending a five-match league drought, Liverpool secured a 4-1 win, which Liverpool manager Arne Slot called "a great win for us."
  • Florian Wirtz added a second-half goal after a one-two with Mohamed Salah, the match featured a comical Nick Pope error and followed a Champions League 6-0 Qarabag win.
