EPL: Carvalho scores last minute winner as Liverpool beat Newcastle United

Fabio Carvalho’s last-gasp strike gave Liverpool a dramatic win as Newcastle United looked set to secure a point at Anfield.

Newcastle United’s new £60m striker Alexander Isak crowned an impressive debut with a goal to give Eddie Howe’s side the lead seven minutes before the break

The 22-year-old signed from Real Sociedad, who only received visa clearance to play hours before kick-off, had a second ruled out for offside before Liverpool mounted the comeback that ended with a familiar Anfield finale.

Liverpool were never at their best after Saturday’s 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth but they maintained the pressure and were back on level terms just after the hour when Roberto Firmino sent a crisp finish beyond Newcastle keeper Nick Pope from Mo Salah’s pass.

And with only seconds left, substitute Carvalho pounced at the far post after Newcastle failed to clear a corner to leave Anfield joyous and Newcastle desolate.
