Which player scored Liverpool’s ninth-minute stoppage-time penalty to draw 2–2 with Newcastle in 2026–27’s opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s ninth-minute stoppage-time penalty to draw 2–2 with Newcastle during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Liverpool visited Newcastle United on Sunday 23 August 2026 and appeared set to lose after Newcastle regained the lead late in the match. Liverpool were awarded a penalty after Victor Muñoz was fouled by Lewis Hall.

Szoboszlai took responsibility and converted in the ninth minute of stoppage time, securing a point for new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola in his first league match in charge.

Newcastle had taken an early lead through Anthony Elanga, who scored after five minutes. Cody Gakpo equalised in the second half, but substitute Joe Willock restored Newcastle’s advantage before Szoboszlai’s dramatic finish.
