Four goals were scored in Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match ended 2–2 at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Adding Newcastle United’s two goals to Liverpool’s two produces a total of four goals. Because the score was level, the clubs shared the points rather than one team taking all three.
This is a useful distinction between a match’s scoreline and its total goals. A 2–2 score has four goals in total, while a 2–1 score has three. The opening weekend also included a five-goal match, Fulham’s 2–3 defeat at home to Chelsea.
Newcastle United versus Liverpool was one of the weekend’s three Sunday fixtures. The other two were Brighton & Hove Albion versus Aston Villa and Manchester City versus Bournemouth, but neither ended 2–2.
