Anthony Gordon scored the 1st goal for the Magpies in the 25th minute, and things for the home team became even better when Virgil van Dijk received a red card in the 28th minute.
However, even with 10 men, Klopp’s team refused to give up, and Darwin Nunez, for only 15 minutes, secured the victory for Liverpool as with his 1st goal in the 81st minute, he tied the game as the winning goal came in the extra time after Salah’s assist.
