Alexander Arnold praises Liverpool’s incredible 10-man comeback against Newcastle as an unforgettable match
Liverpool’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Newcastle after being 1-0 down and playing with 10 men has been hailed by Trent Alexander-Arnold as one of the team’s greatest triumphs under Jurgen Klopp.
Alexander-Arnold was fortunate to avoid a red card in the early stages of the match, and his error led to Newcastle taking the lead through Anthony Gordon. Virgil van Dijk was later sent off in the first half for a foul on Alexander Isak.

Despite being a man down, Liverpool managed to turn the tables and capitalize on their opponent’s failure to make the numerical advantage count. Darwin Nunez came off the bench and scored two goals in the final minutes of the game, including stoppage time.
“We faced a tough challenge, but we stood together, dug deep, and achieved something extraordinary,” expressed Alexander-Arnold during an interview with ‘Sky Sports’.
“This match stands out as one of our finest performances under the guidance of our manager. We’ve had exceptional displays as a team, but this game will be remembered as something truly special,” he added.
Nunez, who has struggled to justify his hefty price tag of £85 million since joining from Benfica, made a significant impact with his pace and clinical finishing.
Although Nunez has yet to start a game this season, his decisive goals showcased his potential and the team’s resilience. “We work relentlessly for these crucial moments, and I am delighted to have contributed with two goals to assist the team,” Nunez remarked.
