In the 24th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool hosted Newcastle United at their home ground and presented the spectators with goal-rich, enthusiastic football - 4:1.
At the beginning of the match, the guests played in the spirit of "we are not afraid." In the 36th minute, Anthony Gordon opened the scoring, silencing the stadium for a moment. But right there, Liverpool's characteristic response began.
Before the end of the first half, the Reds pushed the pace to the end: Hugo Ekitike scored twice in a row, scored a brace, and radically changed the picture of the game. Liverpool won 2-1 at halftime - psychologically, it was almost a signal that "we'll take this game."
There were no stoppages in the second half either. In the 67th minute, Florian Wears converted his opportunity into a goal, making the score even more advantageous. In added time, Ibrahima Konaté sealed the victory with a score of 4:1. That's it, all thoughts about "kambek" went to the archive.
