The Mysterious Anfield Jinx: Why Newcastle Just Can’t Break Free
Two Minutes of Madness That Changed Everything
At 1-1, with half-time seconds away, Newcastle needed calm. They needed to reach the dressing room. Instead, they invited chaos.
A routine corner for Newcastle fizzled out, and one long, hopeful punt from Milos Kerkez upfield found Ekitike near halfway. Sandro Tonali was tracking, Malick Thiaw had the pace and positioning to cover. There was no real threat.
And then Thiaw simply… stopped. Slowed to a jog. Dared Ekitike to run. And run he did, leaving Thiaw embarrassingly flat‑footed before curling a stunning outside‑of‑the‑boot finish past Nick Pope.
