Newcastle and Liverpool went head-to-head in a feisty clash at St James' Park, which saw the Premier League champions earn a last-gasp 3-2 win.
A bad-tempered meeting saw Newcastle control the opening half-an-hour before Ryan Gravenberch suddenly struck and Anthony Gordon was sent off for a poor challenge on Virgil van Dijk moments before half-time.
Hugo Ekitike piled more misery on the hosts – who had failed to convert their earlier chances – as the former Newcastle target doubled Liverpool's lead only seconds into the second half.
Skipper Bruno Guimaraes pulled one back for 10-man Newcastle, who were the better team for the majority of the game, and they got a deserved equaliser through substitute Will Osula.
But any hopes of a draw were dashed when Rio Ngumoha hit a stoppage-time winner.
