A scratchy start from Trent Alexander-Arnold could have seen the right-back sent off after he picked up a yellow card before fouling Anthony Gordon. Gordon made him pay though by picking his pocket and beating Alisson to send Newcastle ahead in the first half.
Minutes later, Virgil Van Dijk brought down Alexander Isak when he was through on goal and the Liverpool captain was dismissed through a straight red card. The visitors dug in deep to reach half-time before Jurgen Klopp made changes.
Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliott brought Liverpool some much needed control but it was Darwin Nunez who came off the bench to first equalise then score a stoppage time winner to complete a fantastic comeback for Liverpool.
Relive the action from St. James’ Park as Newcastle were beaten by Liverpool:

A gutteral roar from the Liverpool fans goes out! They’ve beaten Newcastle with 10-men and come from a goal behind to do so.

Liverpool have come from behind to take the lead against Newcastle with just 10-men. Mo Salah slots a brilliant pass through the Liverpool defence as Darwin Nunez spins around the back of Dan Burn.
He collects the ball and guides it home with another fine guided shot!

87 mins: Elliot Anderson and Matt Targett are on for Newcastle with Sven Botman and Joelinton the men taken off.
Andy Robertson makes a block inside the penalty area and there are appeals for handball. It strikes him on the back though and it’s a wonderful block from the left-back.

84 mins: Nunez’s goal was Liverpool’s first shot on target since Virgil van Dijk’s red card. They’ve stuck in the game and have slowly built some momentum.

81 mins: What a strike!
Mo Salah flicks the ball up to Diogo Jota as Liverpool push up the pitch. Jota slides the ball up to Darwin Nunez but Dan Burn seems to have the pass covered.
He fails to clear it though and Nunez nicks the ball before sneaking into the box. He’s got a ton of work still to do but slots a fine effort across the box, hits the inside of the far post and equalises for the Reds!

Gordon gets a loud round of applause as he leaves the pitch. His goal is the difference between the sides so far.
