Ngumoha was not born when these two teams contested their classic mid-nineties slugfests but here he did a passing impression of Stan Collymore, popping up in the Newcastle penalty area to break black and white hearts and deliver the final twist of an epic encounter.
With Alexander Isak shamefully sitting at home as he continued his strike, Osula was summoned from the bench as Newcastle fought back with ten men for 45 minutes.
His goal – brilliant though it was – was not to be the defining image of the night.

— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 25, 2025For Newcastle it was defeat, but one that was drenched in sweat and honour.
The reaction of the home fans at the end – a standing ovation – told its own story on a night when they came so close to hauling back one of the best teams in Europe.
Youngest scorers in Premier League history
James Vaughan (16 years, 270 days) James Milner (16 years, 356 days) Wayne Rooney (16 years 360 days) Rio Ngumhoma (16 years, 361 days)The tone was set before kick off with a succinct tifo from the Wor Flags fan collective that announced “Nothing is achieved alone” in a nod to their absent striker. While some might have yearned for a more direct message to Isak, the message of unity in the face of adversity has galvanised Eddie Howe’s group all summer.
But what they didn’t have this time, amid the black and white whir, was a focal point up front to profit from the endeavour of Sandro Tonali or the effervescence of Guimaraes.
Was it a rush of blood or a reflection of Tyneside torment that their good work had been undone by Ryan Gravenberch’s precise drive that deflected past Nick Pope? Either way it was unacceptable and unnecessary, further winding St James’ Park.

Briefly, Liverpool lorded it on and off the pitch. From high up in the Leazes end of St James’ Park the visiting supporters crowed about Ekitike and Isak, taunting Newcastle to “hand him over” while red shirts knocking the ball about with increasing confidence.
Tino Livramento, outstanding with the next England squad announced in a few days, supplied the ammunition.
Osula then struck before Ngumoha’s epic late intervention.
