Watch: Anthony Elanga punishes Liverpool with electric speed as Newcastle score on counter to take the lead

Anthony Elanga has given Newcastle United an early lead against Liverpool following a rapid tactical breakdown at Anfield.

The goal arrived from an electric counter-attack that unfolded straight out of a Liverpool offensive phase.

In a flash, a frantic defensive clearance inside Newcastle’s penalty area transformed into a blistering break.

Forward William Osula seized on clearance, driving forward with power into open space before sliding a precise through-ball into the path of Elanga.

The Swedish international made a dashing run in from the right flank, using his raw recovery speed to leave Liverpool full-back Milos Kerkez trailing behind in his wake.

After taking a light touch inside the penalty box, Elanga produced a precise right-footed finish past Alisson, tucking the ball cleanly into the bottom corner of the net to stun the home crowd.
