Liverpool and Newcastle staff charged after 98th minute winner incident

Posted by

Anfield was the host of some incredible scenes last Wednesday as Liverpool scored a 98th-minute winner to beat Newcastle 2-1. 

The match was not an entertaining affair but it became interesting once Jurgen Klopp’s side went behind. The Reds equalised through Roberto Firmino and then clinched all three points with a 98th-minute goal from new boy Fabio Carvalho.

That sparked some incredible scenes in the stands but things got a little heated on the benches and there was even a popular video of Darwin Nunez doing the rounds on social media of the striker swearing at the Newcastle bench.

The FA have now charged coaches from both Liverpool and Newcastle after the incidents that occurred on the sidelines following the late goal.

Liverpool’s John Achterberg and Newcastle’s Daniel Hodges have been charged with improper conduct and the Reds coach has also been charged with using abusive and/or insulting gestures towards the Magpies’ bench.

Both have until Thursday to respond to the charges.

    1. Stfu, idiot. The ref played time from Newcastle faking injuries constantly. Stop crying, because if it had gone the other way, nobody would have said two words about it and would have said that LFC are always blaming someone else. Absolute twat.

      1. Bang on Bill. We got 3 points they time waisted and got what they deserved. How much time do you think they spent on the training ground practicing their moves. They waisted 20 minutes of the second half pretending to be injured. I don’t think they will do it again. It should be lesson learned. Joe

    2. Basically if the Newcastle players had not been shot by a sniper and kept falling over they might of got a draw – that’s what happens when you waste time – got what they deserved

  1. The alleged time wasting still didn’t add up to the extra time added. An independent time keeper would have blown the whistle 1 minute 30 seconds sooner and Newcastle would be sitting 1 point higher in the league.
