Ngumoha Strike in Deep Stoppage Time Hands Liverpool Dramatic 3–2 Victory

Liverpool clinched a dramatic 3–2 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park in a match that ended with a historic moment for 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha.

The teenager came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 100th minute, becoming Liverpool’s youngest-ever goalscorer and sealing an unforgettable win.

Ryan Gravenberch had given the Reds the lead with a powerful long-range effort before Hugo Ekitike doubled their advantage. Newcastle’s hopes took a hit when Anthony Gordon was sent off for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk, but the hosts refused to fold. Bruno Guimarães pulled one back, and substitute Will Osula levelled the score, sparking late drama.

Just when it seemed the game would end in a draw, Ngumoha struck deep into stoppage time, ensuring Liverpool left with all three points. The match also carried extra weight, with the backdrop of transfer tensions surrounding Newcastle striker Alexander Isak adding to the intensity of the occasion.
