Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool: Darwin Nunez comes off the bench to score TWO brilliantly taken late goals and earn stunning comeback win for 10-man Reds after Virgil van Dijk was sent off in first half

For Newcastle, this simmering contest boiled down to a missed opportunity - both literally and metaphorically.

Without a win against Liverpool in eight years and leading 1-0 against 10 men, Miguel Almiron had them ducking for cover in the Gallowgate End when blazing over the crossbar from close range early in the second half.

But those same fans were hiding behind those same fingertips 40 minutes later as Darwin Nunez completed a stunning comeback with two goals from the bench. It felt more like 10 versus 10 during a close in which Eddie Howe’s side lost all control.
