Premier League News

Virgil van Dijk described Liverpool Rio Ngumoha's first Premier League appearance as a "dream debut" after the teenager's dramatic late winner at Newcastle.

Arne Slot heaps praise on Rio Ngumoha after the 16-year-old scored a 110th-minute winner in Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Newcastle.

Iliman Ndiaye was again the history-maker for Everton as he scored the first goal at the Toffees' new Hill Dickinson Stadium, and his cohesion with Jack Grealish looking promising for Merseyside fans.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said he has "no idea" which direction the Alexander Isak transfer saga is headed in after Yasir Al-Rumayyan flew into Tyneside.

Eddie Howe says the presence of Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan at St. James' Park was "much appreciated" despite their 3-2 defeat to Liverpool.
