Which Liverpool player converted the late penalty in the 2–2 draw at Newcastle United in 2026–27 Matchweek 1?

The story behind the answer

Dominik Szoboszlai converted Liverpool’s late penalty in the 2–2 draw at Newcastle United in 2026–27 Matchweek 1.

Szoboszlai scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. His penalty secured Liverpool a point after Newcastle had appeared close to winning their opening match.

The goal was one of the latest decisive moments of the opening weekend. It also gave Liverpool an away draw in a match that formed part of a Sunday programme featuring three different results: Manchester City won, Brighton won and Newcastle drew with Liverpool.

The match was staged on a day that included tributes to former Newcastle manager and player Kevin Keegan. Szoboszlai’s penalty ensured the contest ended 2–2 rather than as a home victory.
