Liverpool managed yet another comeback, earning three more points away from home. We’ve compiled some of the late drama’s highlights that you might have missed.
The opening half was reminiscent of last season, but Jurgen Klopp’s team once again turned the tide, displaying their hardened attitude.
The day brought more conflicted feelings for fans, but it thankfully came to a happy conclusion. You might have missed some of these moments due to the late drama that occurred once more.
It’s safe to say Curtis Jones delighted in Andy Robertson’s winning goal in the 85th minute.
The midfielder, who was born in Liverpool, nearly choked the left-back in his ecstasy during his celebration, which was probably too loud even for the goal scorer to enjoy.
Jones turned away at that point and let out his inner Kopite, yelling “Come on you Reds” in front of a jubilant away end.
Curtis, keep pursuing your dreams.
Jones and Harvey Elliott may have received yellow cards as a result, but neither appeared to care as they ran towards the away fans to celebrate Liverpool scoring the third goal of the game.
Elliott may have known the goal would be an own goal, but it didn’t matter as the devoted Red overcame two sets of barriers to join the raucous crowd in celebrating.
Thankfully, neither player received another caution as they both finished the game!
From the bench at Newcastle, Elliott assisted in changing the outcome of the match, and this season, he has routinely excelled in that role. On Thursday, when LASK is the opponent, he should make his first season debut.
The German and physio Lee Nobes were observed engaging in what may be described as a “passionate debate.” Then, when Ibrahima Konate is set to enter the game in the 83rd minute, he instantly cools off and offers his assistance.
Being on Jurgen’s side of happiness must be good, not so much the other side.
The captain continued to make an impact after the final whistle even though Virgil van Dijk was serving the final game of his suspension.
Most joyously, he congratulated Robertson, Jarell Quansah, and Dominik Szoboszlai, whom he hugged as they left the field.
Van Dijk can now play again and will likely start for Liverpool on Thursday when they play LASK.
Klopp has occasionally clashed with certain members of the media, but at Saturday’s full time, he was all smiles.
A young man in the press conference had his day made by the manager when Klopp signed his shirt and quipped that it would be “the best question in the whole press conference.”
A day to remember for the young supporter sporting an Alisson-themed Liverpool jersey.
