Liverpool 4 Newcastle 1 – Ekitike’s magic two minutes, Gordon a striker and Konate’s emotional return

“Liverpool came from behind to defeat Newcastle United at a raucous Anfield. Arne Slot’s side had not won in 2026, a run of five Premier League games. After losing at Bournemouth last weekend, they seemed to be sliding back to their grim form of the autumn. This performance, inspired by Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, has lifted the mood on Merseyside. For the first 30 minutes, though, an anxious home crowd appeared to be witnessing another disappointing performance.
