Newcastle lost 3-2 to Liverpool after Rio Ngumoha scored a stoppage-time winner at St. James Park. Bruno Guimaraes scored Newcastle's opening goal while Anthony Gordon received a straight red for a foul on Virgil van Dijk. Newcastle are still searching for their first league win and are concentrating on their next match against Leeds. Players emphasised unity, positivity and a commitment to playing their best to secure three points. Liverpool had a bid for Alexander Isak rejected this summer. Leeds suffered a 5-0 league defeat to Arsenal and then lost on penalties to Sheffield Wednesday, prompting self-criticism from Daniel Farke.
This is one of the best groups I've ever been involved in. The guys are always positive. It's in the difficult moments and in the good moments we are always united, always together. This is part of football. Like I said, our plan for the team is to always try and play our best. Saturday, we have a new opportunity against Leeds to try and get three points.
It's always a bit annoying, and you feel a bit embarrassed as a Premier League side, but we have been involved in so many games on this level, especially in the cup - this is why there are so many surprises and shock results. Even the team in the lower league can win such a game. This was one of those days.
