Which Liverpool player scored the stoppage-time penalty that made it 2–2 against Newcastle United in the 2026–27 opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

Dominik Szoboszlai scored the stoppage-time penalty that made it 2–2 between Liverpool and Newcastle United in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Szoboszlai converted in the ninth minute of added time at St James’ Park. His penalty rescued a point for Liverpool in a match that Newcastle had twice led.

Newcastle’s Anthony Elanga scored after only five minutes, and Cody Gakpo later equalised. Joe Willock then restored Newcastle’s advantage shortly after coming on as a substitute.

The penalty followed a foul on Liverpool substitute Victor Muñoz by Lewis Hall. Szoboszlai’s kick completed a dramatic draw on an emotional day that included tributes to former Newcastle player and manager Kevin Keegan.
