In reference to Newcastle United’s game plan during their 3-2 victory at St James’ Park, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said, “he is not not too sure he saw a football match.”

In a breathless game in which Newcastle came out of a 2-0 deficit with 10 men, Rio Ngumoha, 16, scored the Reds’ 16-year-old forward, Rio Ngumoha, who had just scored the winning goal.

The ball was in play for 40.8% of the game, which is the lowest percentage in a Premier League game since February 2010, according to Opta’s statistics.

After the game, Slot told Sky Sports, “I’m not too sure if I saw a football game.”

“It was long throws after set-piece,” he said. There wasn’t much to be gained from tactics. But I particularly liked how strong we were.

Alexander Isak’s desire to leave Newcastle for Liverpool, which contributed to the stadium’s feisty atmosphere, which the match played out against.

That was later realized when Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon was sent off shortly before half-time for a rash challenge on Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk.

The most fouls in a Premier League game this season has been 32 total.

“The first 45 minutes and a half were very challenging. We went 1-0 up, Slot said, “and we didn’t even collapse.”

Gordon apologizes for his red card.

Gordon, the England forward, has apologized for his dismissal, saying that his intentions were good.

The 24-year-old stated in a social media post that she was just “trying to create energy in the game and I mistimed the tackle.”

“I also want to apologize to Virgil. I’d never intentionally tackle someone like this. He is aware of our conversation afterward.

“Most importantly, I’m proud of the amount of time we spent playing on the field. St James’ Park is so unique because of everyone’s sense of community.
