Liverpool vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction after late Fabio Carvalho winner
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool end Newcastle’s unbeaten start with last minute winner
The clock had ticked into the 98th minute. It was so late that it felt Divock Origi territory, except there is no Origi at Anfield any more. But if there was a vacancy for a new supersub, perhaps Fabio Carvalho is filling it.
His first Liverpool goal came as a replacement against Bournemouth on Saturday. His second was far more significant, ending Newcastle’s unbeaten start to the season, getting Liverpool a win when a draw beckoned, suggesting they have regained their capacity for the unlikely.
It was taken beautifully, Carvalho celebrating his 20th birthday the previous day by swivelling to volley in after a bout of penalty-box pinball.
The ball had come via Mohamed Salah’s shoulder but the sweetest touch came from the summer signing and Liverpool, not for the first time in Klopp’s reign, proved experts in escapology.
For the eighth time in nine league games they trailed. They conjured a comeback victory against a hugely impressive Newcastle side.

90+8’ GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle (Carvalho)⚽️
FABIO CARVALHO! He’s won it for Liverpool with the final kick of the game!
Liverpool swing the corner into the box and flick it on to Mo Salah. He heads an effort at Nick Pope who keeps it out. The ball comes back to Salah but bounces over his head and drops to 20-year-old Carvalho who boots it into the back of the net!
Fantastic drama!
90+6’ - Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle
Chance! Liverpool punt the ball up the pitch and find Firmino who slides the ball into the box for Salah. He shoots but Burn deflects the ball behind for a corner!
Liverpool will have one last chance.
90+3’ - Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle
Nick Pope clings on to a Liverpool cross and goes to ground under pressure from Virgil van Dijk. He stays on the ground and wants the medical staff to come on.
There doesn’t seem anything wrong with him and this is a major time-wasting tactic.
90’ - Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle
Five minutes of added time to play. Newcastle are managing this game well but there’s still time for some late drama.
Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle
87’ - Close! A cross from Milner comes to Tsimikas who can’t turn the ball towards goal. Instead it bobbles out of the box and sits up well for Fabinho who drills a decent effort at the far top corner and just puts it wide!
