Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle Report: Liverpool’s new signing Fabio Carvalho scored a credible stoppage-time goal in the 98th minute to secure all three points for Liverpool as the Reds bounced back from a 1-0 deficit to beat the visiting Newcastle side 2-1 at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle: As it happened

Carvalho who joined the club this summer from Fulham celebrated his birthday yesterday and was on the scoresheet to rescue his team a day after. The young lad was introduced into the game as a substitute in the second half of the game and was fast enough to net the winning goal in the storage time.

The Referee added 5 minutes at the end of 90 minutes, however, Nick Pope’s injury delayed the game into 9 minutes of added time, out of which Carvalho netted in the winning goal with just one minute left in the added time. The goal ignited a moment of fury at the touchline when Eddie Howe was displeased at the extension of the extra time that subsequently led to the goal.

Newcastle’s new signing Alexander Isak marked his debut appearance for his new club with a debut goal at Anfield. The visiting team guarded the goal all through the first 45. At an hour mark, Roberto Firmnho equalized for Liverpool thereby igniting their home to victory.

Since the equalizing goal, all efforts by both teams to yield a goal proved abortive until the stoppage time. Had Liverpool lost the game, they would have been 10 points behind table-toppers Arsenal.

Fabio Carvalho is gradually proving his worth at the club since his arrival. It can be recalled that the former Fulham man was on the scoresheet last week when Liverpool trashed Bournemouth 9-0 and is yet on the scoresheet this week.

Liverpool Team Selection That work the magic

Jurgen Klopp made no change from the squad that walloped Bournemouth last Saturday as he tried to manage the available players until the return of his injured players. Liverpool currently has 9 players out due to various degrees of injuries and can only hope for a speedy recovery as the Merseyside club continued struggling in the new season.

Isak who was granted a work permit and hinted to be able to feature in the game at Anfield needs only 38 minutes to record his name on the scoresheet. He almost had his second goal for the night before it was ruled out as offside. However, Firminho canceled out their early lead in the 61st minute with a nice finish to put the Reds back in the game.

Newcastle were optimistic about retaining their unbeaten run to the new premier league season until Carvalho gave them the shock of a lifetime, his close-rage right-footed shot swirling over Nick pope and hitting the crossbar before going in to seal the victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

What’s next?

Liverpool are set to travel to Everton on Saturday afternoon ahead of the Merseyside derby. The match will kick off at exactly 12.30pm, and Darwin Nunez is expected to make a return to the squad after serving a 3-match ban following the red card he picked against Crystal palace.

Information also reaching us stated that Diogo Jota and Naby Keita will also be available for the clash against Everton as they are both ok and fit after weeks of injury. However, prolific midfielder Thiago Alcantara is yet to make a return to the team as he had been scheduled to miss out for good six weeks.

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

 Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangers’ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park — and he didn’t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end — a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done — pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesn’t happen every day, and it’s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtis’ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry — showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celtic’s Japanese Duo

Published

“Are Celtic’s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatate”

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the team’s key Japanese players — Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walker’s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they don’t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walker’s view stems from both men’s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston — and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda — who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season — has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walker’s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maeda’s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away — only for Celtic to block it — and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaign’s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

 The Bigger Picture

Celtic’s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walker’s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward — and who’s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
