Liverpool and Newcastle United played out a Premier League thriller on Monday night, with the Reds edging a 3-2 victory courtesy of a 100th-minute winner from teenage debutant Rio Ngumoha.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 16-year-old\u2019s dramatic strike capped off a chaotic evening at St James\u2019 Park, where Newcastle had clawed back from two goals down before Ngumoha stole the headlines with a fairytale finish.<\/p>\n

And while the away end erupted, one man who enjoyed it just as much was former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.<\/p>\n

Covering the game as a pundit for Sky Sports\u2019 Monday Night Football<\/em>, Carragher\u2019s reaction went viral after the broadcaster shared footage of him losing himself in the moment. Running circles around the studio and even leaping into the air, the Reds legend could barely contain his excitement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my god! Oh my god! Wow! You lucky, lucky Redmen,\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cWhat is going on?! Is this one of the greatest games in Premier League history?\u201d<\/p>\n

Carragher later reposted the clip to X himself, simply adding: \u201cWhat a game.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Still, the Sky Sports pundit didn\u2019t let the adrenaline cloud his judgement. Reflecting after the dust settled, Carragher admitted that Liverpool were fortunate to come away with three points.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what we have seen tonight is probably one of the worst performances from a winning team, and one of the best from the losing team,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cLiverpool won\u2019t care right now, they\u2019ll be absolutely ecstatic, but Eddie Howe\u2019s men tonight were absolutely outstanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Ngumoha, though, it was a night that will live long in the memory \u2013 and if his debut is anything to go by, Liverpool fans might just have witnessed the arrival of their next star.<\/p>\n
