Liverpool appeared to rattle not just the north east but the entire country with their last gasp winner against Newcastle at St. James’ Park last night.
Arne Slot’s side were pegged back to 2-2 after leading 2-0 early in the second half with 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha scoring in the 100th minute to snatch all three points for the Merseysiders.
The teenager had only been on the pitch for a few minutes before he was set up by Mo Salah to send the 3000 travelling Kopites ecstatic.
As Ngumoha and Co. celebrated wildly in the corner of the pitch, Virgil van Dijk was keen to delay the restart further by ensuring the ball wasn’t returning to the centre circle anytime soon.
As Newcastle ‘keeper Nick Pope booted the ball towards the halfway line ahead of the restart, our No. 4 headed in the direction of the ball and struck it off the pitch and into the home supporters housed behind the goal.
The skipper’s actions certainly made us chuckle!

Keep your eye on Van Dijk 😂

Amid all the declarations of good/bad/indifferent Alisson ALWAYS escapes any kind of criticism. As far as I see he is living on his past endeavours.
He was totally to blame for that second equaliser as he stood still on his line. He is NOT one who comes off his line as other keepers as he doesn’t like to challenge if he can get away with it.
Time to make a real change in defence!
Watch him over the next few games as he undoubtedly will be playing?
Rubbish! We have the best keeper in the league.
That’s funny because those are the movements in the past which has stopped goals from going in….maybe look at Konate not winning his duel.
I think he was kicking it to the ball boy who stayed seated and wasn’t bothered to give the ball back to Ali earlier. That would be even better.
That’s a terrible take. He is literally the best keeper in the league and specifically he is brilliant at being quick off his line. He even did it multiple times in the game against Newcastle. I think you need to pay closer attention.
WAKE UP “F###WIT!!
He is the best. Who can you swap him for
Get your head out of your arse
And get some cornflakes sausage
Allison all the way
