Liverpool's comeback at Newcastle masks Jurgen Klopp's issues, 10-man Reds pull off stunner with Darwin Nunez

Darwin Nunez scored twice in the last 10 minutes to secure the win

Ten-man Liverpool rescued a late victory over Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Sunday, where they won 2-1 thanks to a brace from Darwin Nunez. The hosts took the lead in the 25th minute when Anthony Gordon picked up the ball following a giveaway from Trent Alexander-Arnold, and then things went from bad to worse for Liverpool when Virgil van Dijk was sent off for denial of a goalscoring opportunity in the following minute.

Newcastle's dominance gave way to a nervous second-half performance that saw the hosts eventually concede twice in the last 10 minutes. Nunez scored from an angle in the 81st minute, just four minutes after he came on, and then clinched a game-winner in the third minute of stoppage time with another fine hit from a similar position. 

There was plenty of food for thought for both teams following the dramatic result and room for improvement as both aim for top-four finishes this season.
