Which Liverpool player converted the stoppage-time penalty to draw 2–2 with Newcastle United?

Dominik Szoboszlai converted Liverpool’s stoppage-time penalty to draw 2–2 with Newcastle United.

Liverpool trailed Newcastle at St James’ Park on 23 August 2026 after goals from Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock. Cody Gakpo had scored for Liverpool earlier, but Newcastle still led until a penalty was awarded deep into added time. Szoboszlai took responsibility and scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time, making the final score 2–2.

The Hungarian midfielder’s kick preserved a point in Liverpool’s opening match. Match reports sometimes display the goal as 98 minutes or 90+9, depending on the notation used; both describe the same late incident. Szoboszlai’s penalty was one of the defining moments of opening weekend and came during an emotionally charged afternoon of tributes to Kevin Keegan at St James’ Park.
