‘Anthony Elanga is the quickest player on the planet’… Newcastle star amazes fans with epic goal against Liverpool

Anthony Elanga has just impressed Newcastle fans with a tremendous goal against Liverpool.

The North-East side have just reminded the world of how difficult it really is to play at St James’ Park.

Anthony Elanga scores excellent goal against Liverpool

Anthony Elanga just produced a moment Newcastle supporters won’t forget in a hurry.

After a relatively disappointing 2025/26 campaign, Liverpool hoped that they could hit the ground running in the first match of the latest Premier League season.

Alas, within four minutes, the dream turned into a complete and utter nightmare.

After receiving the ball, Elanga burst into life, seemingly accelerating at the speed of a Ferrari at full pace, leaving the Liverpool defenders in the dust before firing the ball into the back of the net.

Blown away by the finish, fans took to social media to praise the footballer.

One said: “Bro, see Anthony Elanga’s speed,” while another added: “Anthony Elanga at his electric best. A first Premier League goal for the Swede in black and white.”

“I’m sorry, but Anthony Elanga is 100% the quickest player on the planet. Just look at that incredible pace. Listen to that incredible noise. St. James’ Park is really an incredible place.”

While that Elanga goal was good, it doesn’t hold a candle to the one Papiss Cisse famously scored against Chelsea.

Even Didier Drogba was stunned by what he’d witnessed.

Following the match, the legend went out of his way to speak to his fellow striker.

Interestingly, Drogba had one question for the Newcastle icon.
