Liverpool were able to fight their way to get a 3-2 win over Newcastle United in their first away game of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

It was a really chaotic match, with the Reds taking a 2-0 lead before allowing the hosts to come back and make it 2-2.

However, Rio Ngumoha came off the bench to score a dramatic late winner to help his side get all three points in the game.

Even though he didn’t get directly involved in any goal, Dominik Szoboszlai is earning a lot of praise from fans for his valiant performance.

The Hungarian midfielder put in a solid shift as a makeshift right back, making four possession recoveries and four key clearances.

He’s earning a lot of praise for his admirable performance under pressure, as here are some reactions from X (Twitter).
