“Nunez, Nunez, Nunez” echoed out from the gods as the dust settled and the dejected Newcastle fans trickled out, relishing what they’d just witnessed.
The next shot on goal came 53 minutes after Virgil van Dijk was dismissed, and what a shot it was.
You would have accepted the draw at that time had Darwin Nunez not unleashed an absolute masterpiece with a point to prove.
But not Liverpool, and not Nunez. Nunez had one final statement to make before injury time ended, and boy, was it emphatic.
Jurgen Klopp and his players, as well as the visiting supporters, were all aware of the significance of the occasion.
We live for these moments, so any chance to enjoy them from other perspectives is always welcome.
Traveling spectators’ views of the action may have caused dizziness for some, and then some who fell over in joy – but you’d be excused for not knowing what was up or down.
If only you could store this emotion in a bottle!
Never take the simple route, because what joy is that? But maybe, just maybe, we’ll discover that playing with 11 men for 90 minutes is better for everyone’s health.
