London: Liverpool needed a 100th minute winner from 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha to beat 10-man Newcastle 3-2 after blowing a two-goal lead in a Premier League thriller on Monday

Ryan Gravenberch and long-time Newcastle target Hugo Ekitike struck for the English champions, either side of Anthony Gordon's red card for a wild lunge on Virgil van Dijk.

But amid a frenzied atmosphere at St. James' Park, the Magpies battled back through Bruno Guimaraes and William Osula only to be denied by teenage sensation Ngumoha's late strike.
