How many goals were scored in the 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match between Newcastle United and Liverpool?

The story behind the answer

Four goals were scored in Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The Sunday match at St James’ Park ended with each club scoring twice. Adding Newcastle’s two goals to Liverpool’s two produces a total of four goals.

Because the fixture was the only draw of the opening round, it gave both clubs one point. The shared result contrasted with the weekend’s other matches, all of which produced a winner.

This total is sometimes confused with the match scoreline itself. The score was 2–2, while the number of goals scored by both teams combined was four. It also differs from the five-goal Fulham–Chelsea match, which finished 3–2.
