The Mysterious Anfield Jinx: Why Newcastle Just Can’t Break Free
Mo Salah’s deflected shot fell awkwardly into the path of Ryan Gravenberch, who nudged it to Florian Wirtz. Three Newcastle defenders converged and somehow none of them intevened. Wirtz slipped the ball to Hugo Ekitike, who tapped it in. One moment of hesitation, one tangle of feet, and the score was level.
Howe’s reaction said everything. Normally a figure of examplery composure, he snapped into fury—arms flailing, expletives spilling toward Jason Tindall, gesturing at ghosts only he could see. It was the face of a manager who had watched this movie too many times.
