Liverpool left it late to beat Newcastle as Rio Ngumoha struck in the 100th minute to secure a thrilling victory.

The Reds were two to the good shortly after half-time, but their hosts, down to ten men after Anthony Gordon was sent off, battled back thanks to goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Will Osula.

The 16-year-old Ngumoha was sent on in a final roll of the dice for Arne Slot, and the youngster fired home late on to secure all three points in a hugely dramatic clash.
