In a thrilling Premier League match in the early hours of Thursday (1), Liverpool came from a goal down to experience a thrilling contest. It wasn't until stoppage time that substitute Fabio Cavallo blasted a near post shot to make it 2-1 and shut out Newcastle at home for a second consecutive win. However, the performance of the Reds is like a roller coaster, the last game won by 9 goals, but this game is close, Lee fans seem to be ushered in the "heartbeat moment".
In the last round, Liverpool thrashed Brentford 9-0 at home, and the challenge of this match was once again met with a tough test at Anfield Road. Only 38 minutes into the first half, Newcastle striker Alexander Ishak slammed a brilliant shot through the Reds' goal. The 21-year-old Swedish international, who previously joined Newcastle from Real Sussex for £63 million, proved his worth on his debut.
Liverpool stepped up their attack and equalized in the 61st minute with Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian international scored for the second consecutive game, bringing his Reds career tally to 101 goals.
After the equalizer, Liverpool, with their morale boosted, poured on Newcastle, but never managed to break through. Just when the whole world thought the game would end in a draw, the Reds made it 2-1 in stoppage time with a corner kick, which Fabio Cavallo finished off in the melee to make the score 2-1.
The 20-year-old Portuguese midfielder joined Liverpool this summer for a £5million transfer fee and has earned rave reviews for his performances despite mostly appearing as a substitute, scoring twice in a row as has Firmino. Fabio Carvalho even became the youngest player in Liverpool's Premier League history to score the winning goal in added time.
It is worth mentioning that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah didn't score in this game but contributed 2 assists, which was the key to his team's victory, and was honored as the official Player of the Match.
