That's the Premier League, that's what a champion does - even when it wasn't going his way, and when he was outplayed in the second half by a team that had fewer players, he found a way to win.
In the 100th minute of the game, in the hell of St. James' Park, naked boy who is 16 years old Rija Engumoe: Liverpool - Newcastle 3:2, in a match that will be retold.
A new star was born in one of the noisiest stadiums in England.
The derby, which had a fiery overture due to the Alexander Isak saga, became even more fiery from the first minute due to the great atmosphere in the stands.
And, after several dangerous attacks by the home team, Ryan Gravenberh silenced a very noisy "St. James' Park" - a super precise shot on the ground from about twenty meters didn't give Nick Pope the slightest chance.
When Anthony Gordon received a red card at the end of the first half for a careless tackle on Virgil van Dijk, and at the beginning of the second half Hugo Ekitike increased the lead to 2:0 with another goal, it seemed like everything would be routine for the champions.
Still, somehow the "Reds" were shy, and the wounded host showed great heart - with one less player, they attacked the best team in England, and there was a feeling in the air that, carried by the roar from the stands, they were preparing something unforgettable.
First, Bruno Guimaraes reduced, after he hit his head next to an uninterested Miloš Kerkez, and then William Osula took advantage of a great ball from goalkeeper Pope in the 88th minute and easily defeated Alison Becker..
Referee Simon Hooper added 11 minutes of extra time to the game, but for the most part, it looked like Liverpool were down on the pitch, but then the 100th minute happened, which the Reds' prodigy will forever remember - a goal for a big win, for two of the two champions at the start of the season.
Mohamed Salah crossed the ball on the ground, Dominik Soboslai, who also played at right-back in this match, missed the ball, and the guy who turns 17 on Friday calmly silenced a noise in Newcastle.
