Liverpool v Bournemouth: Jurgen Klopp hails ‘perfect afternoon’ after 9-0 victory

The clock had ticked into the 98th minute. It was so late that it felt Divock Origi territory, except there is no Origi at Anfield any more. But if there was a vacancy for a new supersub, perhaps Fabio Carvalho is filling it.

His first Liverpool goal came as a replacement against Bournemouth on Saturday. His second was far more significant, ending Newcastle’s unbeaten start to the season, getting Liverpool a win when a draw beckoned, suggesting they have regained their capacity for the unlikely.

It was taken beautifully, Carvalho celebrating his 20th birthday the previous day by swivelling to volley in after a bout of penalty-box pinball.

The ball had come via Mohamed Salah’s shoulder but the sweetest touch came from the summer signing and Liverpool, not for the first time in Klopp’s reign, proved experts in escapology.

For the eighth time in nine league games they trailed. They conjured a comeback victory against a hugely impressive Newcastle side.

Relive all the action from Anfield as Liverpool defeated Newcastle United:

FT Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

The day after his 20th birthday, Fábio Carvalho has become the youngest player to score a 90th+ minute winning goal in the Premier League for Liverpool.

At 98 minutes it is Liverpool’s latest Premier League goal since April 2011 (102nd minute, Dirk Kuyt vs Arsenal).

FT Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

Liverpool looked to be dropping more points thanks to Newcastle’s steadfast defending but they’ve nicked a win at the death and are now up to fifth in the table.

Still, they’re seven points behind league leaders Arsenal already.

Full-time: Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle

The final whistle goes and Liverpool secure the three points!

Nick Pope’s play acting has cost Newcastle. The referee added a further three minutes onto stoppage time and Fabio Carvalho won it with the last kick of the game.

90+8’ GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle (Carvalho)⚽️

FABIO CARVALHO! He’s won it for Liverpool with the final kick of the game!

Liverpool swing the corner into the box and flick it on to Mo Salah. He heads an effort at Nick Pope who keeps it out. The ball comes back to Salah but bounces over his head and drops to 20-year-old Carvalho who boots it into the back of the net!

Fantastic drama!

90+6’ - Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle

Chance! Liverpool punt the ball up the pitch and find Firmino who slides the ball into the box for Salah. He shoots but Burn deflects the ball behind for a corner!

Liverpool will have one last chance.

90+3’ - Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle

Nick Pope clings on to a Liverpool cross and goes to ground under pressure from Virgil van Dijk. He stays on the ground and wants the medical staff to come on.

There doesn’t seem anything wrong with him and this is a major time-wasting tactic.

90’ - Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle

Five minutes of added time to play. Newcastle are managing this game well but there’s still time for some late drama.

Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle

87’ - Close! A cross from Milner comes to Tsimikas who can’t turn the ball towards goal. Instead it bobbles out of the box and sits up well for Fabinho who drills a decent effort at the far top corner and just puts it wide!
