The absent Alexander Isak dominated the build-up to Newcastle Uniteds clash at home to Liverpool but the Swede was temporarily forgotten in a rip-roaring contest that ended 3-2 to the reigning champions thanks to a stoppage-time winner by teenaged Premier League debutant Rio Ngumoha.

Isaks desire to leave Newcastle, with Liverpool his destination of choice, guaranteed a boisterous St James Park atmosphere and it seemed Arne Slots visitors had buckled as they threw away a flattering 2-0 lead against a side reduced to 10 men by Anthony Gordons red card in first-half stoppage time.

But 16-year-old Ngumoha broke Newcastles hearts shortly after coming off the bench, thrashing in the winner with a first-time right-foot shot in the 10th minute of stoppage time to become Liverpool s youngest ever scorer and the fourth youngest in Premier League history.
