Liverpool beat Newcastle United thanks to a goal that was scored in the 98th minute of a game that was decided to have five minutes added onto the end of it.
This has led to a lot of sour reactions from Eddie Howe’s team and other rival clubs further afield, as they think Fabio Carvalho’s winner should not have stood.
Now, thanks to TikTok user @all.things.footy6, the extra added time by Andre Marriner has been explained and will surely help end this debate once and for all.
Fouls, kicking the ball away, feigning injuries, fans throwing balls onto the pitch and general time wasting, all added up to cost the Geordies a hard-fought point.

As a Ref, the added time that goes up on the board is the minimum time added on. It is not a limit (yes I’m looking at you Mr. Shearer).
Let’s have it right, Newcastle got exactly what they deserved last night when Fabio Carvalho struck in the 98th minute. Only five minutes of injury time was added on, but Nick Pope stayed down for three minutes once 90 struck. NUFC were the victims of their own making.
What you sow is what reap,what more can I say!?5was so little a time compared to what was wasted from the first whistle,to 90th minute,why should we focus on 5added minutes yet time wasted by New castle antics was well over 12!? LFC deserved winners,fought so had for the winner,which they got at the lat minute
