16 year-old Rio Ngumoha netted on his Premier League debut to give Liverpool a 3-2 win against 10-man Newcastle on Monday Night Football after the Magpies thought they had come from 2-0 down to get a draw.
Eddie Howe’s side were hit by a sucker punch 10 minutes before the break when Ryan Gravenberch’s low shot beat Nick Pope, helped by a slight deflection off Fabian Schar.
Liverpool doubled their advantage within 30 seconds into the second half, when Hugo Ekitike netted with a low, placed right-foot finish.
However, despite being a man down, Newcastle fought back and captain Bruno Guimaraes handed them hope with a diving header after 57 minutes.
Substitute Will Osula got in ahead of Gravenberch to bundle in the equaliser past goalkeeper Alisson after 88 minutes.
Substitute Ngumoha, at 16 years and 361 days, provided a sensational climax when left unmarked to riffle in the winner in the 100th minutes.
