Newcastle 2 Liverpool 3 – Monday, August 25, 2025 8 p.m.
Do not blame the ref or the VAR.
Liverpool Wasted time, was pressed back and gave free kicks away, had booked two players after United had been lucky to escape a yellow card in the opening fairs.
Then we gave a fool of a goal when a sloppy trippier has a complicated insession in our last third.
Instead of keeping our heads, Burn had a blow to Salah and he was booked. Instead of finding out the warning, Gordon sprinted to close the keeper, who moved to Van Dijk. Gordon sprinted even faster and scraped his studs along the back of the calf of the middle half. Not for the first time Gordon abandoned his teammates and his manager. A red card all night long, although initially referee Hooper showed a yellow.
With the departure of our improvised Center-Forward, every realistic hope went for a victory. Up to 10 men for the entire second half against the Premier League champions.
Ekitike doubled Liverpool’s lead immediately after the restart. Two bright shots from the edge of the box that both found the net through the inside of the post.
Bad got worse when Tonali was thrown on the floor by Ekitike, which seemed to damage the shoulder of the Italian.
Perhaps provoked by that attack, United attacked and when Livramento waved a high cross to the distant pole, nobody would stop guimaraes overmuscleren Kerkez to send our first goal of the season home.
That was all that previously had to roar feud crowd to roar on their heroes again. A series of air strikes shook to the core, but Tonali was forced by his shoulder injury, making the task of United even more difficult.
The nightmare under the lights was expanded when Joelinton, who desperately stretched to win the ball in midfield, seemed to tension a groin muscle. His departure gave Ramsey his United debut. Hall replaced Trippier and Osula at the same time took over from Barnes.
From the free kick, Schar took a slap on the head for the umpteenth time in his united career. He couldn’t go on and Thiaw came up as a brain replacement.
Two midfielders and a center half forced, a straight red card that deserves a ban of three games, and still United refused to submit. The dominant team with 11 men, the dominant team with 10 men.
Guimaraes did excellent to win a free kick that was caught deep to Liverpool’s box. Burny challenged for the ball and Osula gambled like a good striker. He received his reward with a quiet finish under the rugged Alisson.
A point was the least we deserved when Liverpool continued to fluctuate and roll. The 11 minutes of the stopping time were initially played in the last third of the visitors. They succeeded in getting foot on the ground and, painfully, stole the victory in the 100th minute, thanks to a 16-year-old sub.
Pope went up for a free kick and the resulting corner, but the last whistle was blown before United could score another equalizer. Football can be a cruel game.
