WATCH: Virgil van Dijk reacts to Darwin Nunez digging him out of red card hole in dramatic Liverpool win at Newcastle

<p>The Reds appeared to have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-newcastle-darwin-nunez-virgil-van-dijk-trent-alexander-arnold/blt5108a7caad5c0721" target="_blank">shot themselves in the foot at St James’ Park</a> when going a goal and a man down inside 28 minutes. A costly error from Trent Alexander-Arnold led to Anthony Gordon breaking the deadlock. Van Dijk was then <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-madness-virgil-van-dijk-liverpool-straight-red-card-reckless-tackle-trent-alexander-arnold-error-newcastle/blt7f0e02d86880545d" target="_blank">dismissed for a reckless challenge on Alexander Isak</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Said dismissal was the first of the Dutchman’s time at Liverpool, and he did not take kindly to being sent for an early bath as he aimed a volley of foul-mouthed abuse in the direction of the match officials. His blushes were, however, to be spared by Uruguayan frontman Nunez.</p>

<p>The South American was introduced off the bench in the 77th minute and restored parity four minutes later. Nunez then <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-why-darwin-nunez-cost-64m-liverpool-forward-off-bench-stunning-match-winning-double-10-man-reds-newcastle/bltc3d6fc7b8fd6f85a" target="_blank">netted a 93rd-minute winner</a> for the 10-man Reds – much to the delight of Van Dijk, who was waiting for him in the dressing room with a “come on” roar at the final whistle.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">That full-time feeling 👌 <a href="https://t.co/an8eS8d8CU">pic.twitter.com/an8eS8d8CU</a></p>— Liverpool FC (@LFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1695863918474764359?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2023</a></blockquote>

AND WHAT'S MORE

<p>Liverpool remain unbeaten un 2023-24 as a result of their late show on Tyneside, with seven points from three games enough to see them sit fourth in the table. Klopp’s men – with Van Dijk now serving a suspension – will be back in action on Sunday when playing host to Aston Villa.</p>
