Newcastle United issue official Alexander Isak update after PIF crunch talks & Liverpool defeat
Alexander Isak was not involved once again as Newcastle United were beaten 3-2 by Liverpool at St James’ Park.
An early game of the season contender saw Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike give Liverpool a two goal lead either side of an Anthony Gordon red card.
Despite being down to 10 men, Newcastle were able to find a way back into the game against the Premier League champions with goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Will Osula bringing the score back to 2-2.
But Liverpool had the last laugh in the end with 16-year-old substitute Rio Ngumoha snatching a 100th minute winner on Tyneside.
It was a valiant performance from The Magpies, who were once again left thinking if things would have been different with Isak on the pitch.
