Dominik Szoboszlai converted Liverpool’s ninth-minute stoppage-time penalty in the 2–2 draw at Newcastle during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Liverpool drew 2–2 with Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Szoboszlai kept his composure to score from the penalty spot in the ninth minute of added time, rescuing a point for Liverpool.
Newcastle’s Anthony Elanga had scored after only five minutes, but Liverpool stayed in the contest and eventually levelled in dramatic fashion. The match formed part of an emotional tribute to Kevin Keegan, who had played for and managed Newcastle and had also represented Liverpool.
The timing is easy to misread: the penalty was taken in the ninth minute of stoppage time, not the ninth minute of the match. Szoboszlai was also Liverpool’s scorer rather than Newcastle’s early goalscorer.
