Newcastle United vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park

Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Liverpool today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Up front, Chiesa will replace potential match-winner, Ekitike.

First, playmaker Wirtz - who has been fairly quiet today - makes way for Bradley, a right-back.

After coming up short with his initial long throw-in, Livramento then curls over a delightful cross from the left flank for Bruno Guimaraes to head home.

GOAL!!! NEWCASTLE HIT BACK! It's the hosts' captain who breathes life into this contest! Bruno Guimaraes shows great determination to connect with Livramento's left-wing cross, planting his header into the net via the right-hand post! Alisson just failed to keep it out, and it's now only 2-1 to Liverpool!

Finding the net on his top-flight debut, Nguhoma becomes the fourth-youngest scorer in Premier League history (16 years, 361 days), behind James Vaughan (16 years, 270 days), James Milner (16 years, 356 days) and Wayne Rooney (16 years, 360 days).

Finally impacting a game that had mostly passed him by, Salah posts his 19th goal involvement against Newcastle, rolling a low pass across the box from wide on the right.

At the end of an incredible game packed with twists and turns, Liverpool secure another late win and extend their long reign of Premier League dominance over Newcastle United. Now unbeaten in 18 top-flight meetings with the Magpies, they ultimately prevail thanks to 16-year-old starlet Ngumoha, who made it 3-2 deep into stoppage time. Previously, Newcastle had bravely fought back from going down to 10 men when Gordon was sent off for a reckless foul on Van Dijk, then slipping two goals behind within seconds of the restart. Ekitike's strike seemed to have settled the contest, but the Magpies fought back, with a Bruno Guimaraes header giving them hope before substitute Osula levelled it up. However, there was still a bitter end to the tale, as a much-deserved point slipped through their grasp. Newcastle's xG of 0.93 outstripped an off-colour Liverpool's 0.7, and they'll be ruing their misfortune on Tyneside tonight. Next up for Howe's men will be a trip to Elland Road at the weekend, while Slot's side must put their 100% record on the line against Arsenal in Sunday's big game. That's all from St. James' Park today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Moments after setting up the winning goal, Salah's work is done. That's seven assists in his last seven league games against Newcastle. Endo will replace him.

GOAL!!! LIVERPOOL WIN IT! The ultimate sting in the tail - and it's 16-year-old Ngumoha who wins it! Szoboszlai steps over a low Salah cross, allowing the ball to run perfectly for the teenage substitute, and he calmly fires past Pope to make it 3-2 to Liverpool. That's so cruel for brave 10-man Newcastle. It's yet another Premier League classic in this fixture!
