Darwin Nunez was the hero as Liverpool fought from behind to beat Newcastle United 2-1 on Sunday afternoon
Darwin Nunez stole the headlines on Sunday afternoon as his late two-goal salvo rescued all three points from Liverpool against Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Here's how the ECHO and the rest of the media reacted to Sunday's pulsating affair in the North East. "Credit to Klopp. His changes were bold and decisive as all his substitutions worked. While Klopp went for it there was, in Eddie Howe’s face, an acceptance that the Newcastle manager had retreated with his more cautious approach.
"He had wasted one half‑opportunity with a poor first touch when he happened upon the clever expedient of having Sven Botman perform the first touch for him, the Dutch defender lucklessly cushioning the ball into Núñez’s stride as it flicked off his ankle into his backside. But who realistically expected anything other than a scuff into Nick Pope or a low effort dragged wide of the far post? Instead, Núñez leathered the ball cleanly in off the far post.
"But Botman went from hero to villain when he got himself in a tangle and was unable to cut out Jota’s throughball. Nunez did the rest with a clinical finish via the inside of the post for 1-1. "Liverpool were a goal down when Nunez entered the fray with 13 minutes of normal time remaining, outplayed for long periods and outnumbered for more than an hour following captain Virgil van Dijk's red card for bringing down Alexander Isak three minutes after Anthony Gordon capitalised on Trent Alexander-Arnold's mistake to put Newcastle ahead.
"If Newcastle's overriding emotion at throwing away a position of victory would have been disappointment, it was to get much worse in the third minute of the five added on. Despite hailing Liverpool in his post-match verdict, here, Gorst insists there is plenty for Liverpool to do before Friday's transfer deadline:
