Four goals were scored in Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Each side scored twice, so the total number of goals was four and the points were shared. It was one of the opening weekend’s two draws.
Liverpool began the season under new manager Andoni Iraola, while Newcastle were managed by Matthias Jaissle. That managerial context made the fixture notable beyond the scoreline, as both clubs were starting a new chapter in the campaign.
The number four refers to total goals, not points or goals by one team. Newcastle scored two and Liverpool scored two. That is why the final score was 2–2 rather than a one-sided result such as Brighton’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa.
