The top talent of Liverpool was allowed to rely in the injury time of the match against Newcastle and delivered Liverpool only a few minutes later with the 2-3 still the three points in St. James’ Park. Dominik Szoboszlai let a cross of Mohamed Salah walk through his legs and Ngumoha did not hesitate. At the last minute he still avoided points loss for The Reds.
