Newcastle's Anthony Gordon, who was sent of for a foul on Virgil van Dijk, squares up to Liverpool's Milos Kerkez
Newcastle United and Liverpool produced a night of drama on Tyneside that contained every classic element that makes theirs the Premier League's new bitter rivalry.
The villain of the piece, Newcastle's rebel striker Alexander Isak, was not even at St James' Park for an adrenaline-fuelled episode between the club that wants to keep him, and the Premier League champions who want to add his name to their star-studded attacking cast list.
Who knows what Isak would have made of game that was low on quality but packed with just about everything else, and settled in the 110th minute by Rio Ngumoha, who became the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool's history at 16 years and 361 days.
It was a sensational evening, not fashioned from classic football, but by the emotions charged by what is now assuming all the contents for a classic, long-running feud.
