Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk highlighted "the debut of the century" for Ryo Nguema after the 16-year-old footballer scored a decisive goal in the match against Newcastle at St. James' Park.

Nguema came on as a substitute and scored in the dying moments of the game, allowing Liverpool to snatch victory with a score of 3-2, despite Newcastle playing with a disadvantage after a red card for Anthony Gordon.

Van Dijk stated: "It was an ideal moment. We stayed calm at the end and found the right decision to score the goal, and we did it. I am very happy for Ryo." With this goal, Nguema became the fourth youngest goalscorer in Premier League history.

The game unfolded in a tense atmosphere, as Liverpool struggled to sign Newcastle's unregistered forward Alexander Isak. Van Dijk also commented on the red card for Gordon: "If that’s not a red card, then I don’t understand football."

Liverpool manager Arne Slot noted that Newcastle's tactics challenged his team. He emphasized that despite crucial moments, the team managed to create three important chances.
