Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s equaliser against Newcastle in the ninth minute of stoppage time.

Liverpool drew 2–2 with Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. The match appeared to be slipping away from Liverpool until the visitors were awarded a late penalty. Szoboszlai took responsibility and converted it to rescue a point.
