Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s stoppage-time equaliser against Newcastle United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.
Liverpool drew 2–2 with Newcastle United at St James’ Park on 23 August 2026. Szoboszlai converted a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time, rescuing a point for Liverpool in one of the weekend’s most dramatic finishes.
The Hungarian midfielder’s penalty was struck into the top-left corner. Because it came so late, the goal transformed the result from a Newcastle victory into a draw. The match therefore gave both clubs one point rather than Newcastle taking all three.
This goal is distinct from the two sides’ famous 4–3 Premier League matches in 1996 and 1997, which are often mentioned whenever Newcastle and Liverpool meet. The 2026–27 opener did not reproduce those scorelines, but it did provide late drama through Szoboszlai’s penalty.
