In which minute did Dominik Szoboszlai score Liverpool’s equaliser against Newcastle in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s equaliser in the ninth minute of stoppage time against Newcastle in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

Liverpool drew 2–2 with Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Szoboszlai converted a penalty in the ninth minute of added time, rescuing a point in one of the round’s most dramatic finishes.

The match was played against the emotional background of tributes to Kevin Keegan, who had played for both clubs and managed Newcastle. Players gathered around the centre circle for a minute’s applause before kickoff, while supporters displayed a large “Keegan 7” tribute.

A late penalty equaliser is easy to confuse with a winner, but Szoboszlai’s goal only made the score 2–2. Newcastle had come close to taking all three points, while Liverpool began the season with a draw. The result also made the opening round’s final Sunday fixture particularly memorable.
