Arne Slot said the quality of Rio Ngumoha ’s finishing is what sets him apart after he hit a stunning late winner against Newcastle on Monday night. With the match tied at two goals apiece and the clock running deep into stoppage time, Ngumoha was introduced alongside Harvey Elliott as Slot’s final roll of the dice.

Sixteen-year-old substitute Rio Ngumoha scored a sensational last-gasp winner as Liverpool overcame 10-man Newcastle 3-2 in a Premier League game for the ages on Monday.

Harvey Barnes is starting to test makeshift right-back Dominik Szoboszlai and the winger cuts back on his right, curls a cross into the area, which Anthony Gordon just nods over. Shortly afterwards, Anthony Elanga then fizzes a low ball to Gordon, which Alisson stops.
