Incredible comeback for Liverpool with ten at Newcastle!

Liverpool returned with pride at Saint James’ Park (1-2) a game they lost after conceding a goal and suffering the dismissal of their captain Virgil van Dijk just three minutes into the first half. There was an hour left in the game but Newcastle couldn’t close out the victory and Darwin Núñez gave the ‘reds’ an incredible victory with two goals in the final minutes, the second coming on a discount.

Liverpool suffered a continuous nightmare in the first half despite the fact that Luis Díaz had a good chance after fifteen minutes with a good attack from the right that ended with a shot at the short post that was taken by Nike Pope.

But at the other end of the field, Anthony Gordon, is already wreaking havoc on the ‘red’ defense. As soon as the match started, the referee awarded Trent Alexander-Arnold a second yellow for knocking him down as he ran away.

Gordon led Newcastle’s attack throughout the match and was in all the key plays. The former Everton player opened the scoring in the 25th minute after a mistake by Alexander-Arnold, who failed to control Mohamed Salah’s delayed pass under local pressure and Gordon made a free run before beating Alisson on his way out. .

Red to Van Dijk

After about three minutes, the game became more complicated for Liverpool. Gordon lays the ball to Alexander Isak and Virgil van Dijk brings him down as the last defender. Direct red for the ‘red’ captain with an hour to play.

Jürgen Klopp sacrificed Luis Díaz to bring on centre-back Joe Gomez and Liverpool held out against a Newcastle siege until the break thanks to Alisson’s incredible save from a Miguel Almirón shot. The Brazilian goalkeeper deflected the ball, which hit the crossbar and then the post.

Newcastle don’t close out the game

After the break, Newcastle, always with Gordon as a danger generator, had several chances to score, but they were unable to and Liverpool thrived with the introduction of Diogo Jota, who gave meaning to their game.

Almirón again got a shot off the post (75′), but Klopp’s pride and ambition led Liverpool to turn the game around.

Darwin came in and turned the scoreboard

Jota found Darwin Núñez, who had just been brought in by the coach, and the Uruguayan took advantage of Sven Botman’s error in control to unleash a cross whip past Pope (81′).

Not only did Liverpool not give up, but they did not settle down and in discount Darwin, assisted by Salah, turned his back on the defense and ended the unexpected result of the game with another unstoppable shot.
