In the match between Newcastle and Liverpool, which took place on September 26, 2025, 16-year-old Rio N'gumeha became the youngest player in the club's history, scoring the winning goal in stoppage time. His goal helped the team achieve a comeback with a score of 3-2 at St. James' Park.
N'gumeha, who joined Liverpool in 2024, scored after the team had lost two goals in the second half of the match, despite being a super sub in the minority. Liverpool initially led 2-0, but Newcastle managed to equalize thanks to a goal from captain Bruno Guimaraes and a replacement for William Osula.
N'gumeha acknowledged that it was a happy moment to score, but he does not want to get caught up in the general noise and emotions. "I don't want my team to be distracted by me playing with more experienced players," he said. The player also emphasized the importance of the team's mental resilience, which, in his opinion, is a hallmark of champions.
