Salah assists, 16-year-old record goalscorer helps Liverpool beat Newcastle

TPO - Liverpool needed a decisive goal in the 100th minute from 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha to beat Newcastle 3-2. And the person who contributed to this move was none other than Mohamed Salah.

Newcastle's defense was helpless as Ngumoha scored.

Early this morning, the final match of round 2 of the Premier League took place between Newcastle and Liverpool. As usual, the defending champion showed two contrasting faces with explosive attack and fragile defense.

The match was quite fierce, with 19 fouls in the first half alone. Newcastle played hard to limit Liverpool's attacking ability. They also created a number of chances in the early stages.

Despite the situation, Liverpool still opened the scoring. They took the lead in the 35th minute thanks to midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. Receiving an assist from Cody Gakpo, Gravenberch finished neatly to open the score for The Kop.

Newcastle were down to 10 men at the end of the first half. Anthony Gordon was sent off for a bad foul on Virgil van Dijk. The visitors doubled their advantage and early in the second half, Liverpool found their second goal. The scorer was striker Hugo Ekitike with an exemplary curling effort.

However, at this time, their "disease" of loose defense made it difficult for them. Newcastle pulled back 1 goal with a header from Bruno Guimaraes in the 57th minute. In the excitement, the home players played on par with their opponents despite being short of players. They were able to equalize 2-2 in the 88th minute.

In the 90+10 minute, Liverpool had a great move down the right wing, Mohamed Salah made a cross and the 16-year-old player who had just entered the field, Rio Ngumoha, received the ball in an open position and finished to score the goal, sealing a 3-2 victory for Liverpool. Ngumoha (16 years and 361 days) also set a record when he became the youngest player to score in Liverpool's Premier League history, breaking the record held by Michael Owen.
