Jamie Carragher goes wild in the Sky Sports studio to celebrate Rio Ngumoha’s goal

Liverpool and Newcastle United played out a Premier League thriller on Monday night, with the Reds winning 3-2 thanks to a 100th-minute winner from teenage debutant Rio Ngumoha.

The 16-year-old’s spectacular strike capped a chaotic evening at St James’ Park, where Newcastle had clawed back a two-goal lead before Ngumoha grabbed the headlines with a fairytale finish.

And as the away game broke out, one man who was enjoying it just as much was former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.

Covering the game as a pundit for Sky Sports Monday Night FootballCarragher’s reaction went viral after the broadcaster shared footage of him losing himself in the moment. Running circles around the studio and even jumping in the air, the Reds legend could barely contain his excitement.

“Oh my God! Oh my God! Wow! You lucky, lucky Redmen,” he exclaimed. “What’s going on?! Is this one of the biggest games in Premier League history?”

Carragher then reposted the clip on X himself, simply adding: “What a game.”

Yet the Sky Sports pundit didn’t let adrenaline cloud his judgement. Reflecting after the dust had settled, Carragher admitted Liverpool were lucky to come away with three points.

“I think what we saw tonight was probably one of the worst performances from a winning team and one of the best from a losing team.” he said. “Liverpool don’t care at the moment, they will be absolutely delighted, but Eddie Howe’s men tonight were absolutely outstanding.”

For Ngumoha, however, it was a night that will live long in the memory – and if his debut is anything to go by, Liverpool fans may well have witnessed the arrival of their next star.
