Teen star Rio Ngumoha announces himself with a stoppage-time goal as Liverpool defeat Newcastle 3-2 in a thrilling Premier League showdown.
Liverpool’s new era under Arne Slot produced its first unforgettable moment as 16 year old Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th minute winner to seal a 3-2 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park. The teenage substitute, brought on late, pounced in stoppage time to give the Reds three points in a game that swung wildly from start to finish.
Liverpool had stormed into a 2-0 lead before Newcastle, reduced to ten men after Anthony Gordon’s red card, mounted a stirring comeback to level at 2-2. St James’ Park erupted as the hosts clawed their way back but the night belonged to Ngumoha, who showed composure beyond his years to strike deep into stoppage time.

The result not only extends Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season but also introduces fans to a potential new star. Ngumoha, who only recently joined from Chelsea’s academy, has already written his name into Reds folklore with one of the most dramatic debuts imaginable.
For Newcastle, the defeat will sting after their spirited fightback, while the ongoing transfer saga around striker Alexander Isak continues to loom large. But for Liverpool and their traveling supporters, this was a night of pride, passion and the emergence of a wonderkid whose story is only just beginning.
