Liverpool has set a new Premier League record following Darwin Nunez’s stoppage-time winner in Sunday’s thrilling 2-1 triumph over Newcastle United. The Reds endured a calamitous first half, with Anthony Gordon giving Newcastle the lead in the 25th minute, and Virgil van Dijk receiving a red card just three minutes later.

This marked the first instance since March/April 2015 that Liverpool had a player sent off in consecutive Premier League matches, presenting Jurgen Klopp’s team with a significant challenge at St James’ Park.

In an incredible turn of events, Liverpool staged a second-half comeback, powered by Nunez’s impressive brace, marking his third such achievement as a Liverpool player.

Klopp, the Liverpool manager, confessed after the game that this dramatic victory was unlike any other match he had experienced in his managerial career.

Sunday’s remarkable win extended Liverpool’s unbeaten streak against Newcastle to 14 games, a run that dates back to December 2015. With an undefeated start to the season, the Merseyside club currently occupies fourth place after three matches.

Their next focus will be on their final game before the international break, a home encounter against Aston Villa next Sunday.
