Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s stoppage-time penalty in the 2–2 draw at Newcastle United during opening weekend.
Szoboszlai converted in the ninth minute of stoppage time at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. His penalty secured a 2–2 draw for Liverpool in one of the round’s most dramatic finishes.
Newcastle had started strongly, with Anthony Elanga scoring after five minutes. Liverpool’s late equaliser came during an emotional match that included tributes to Kevin Keegan, who had played for both clubs and managed Newcastle.
The goal is often described as a 99th-minute equaliser because the match had reached the ninth minute of added time. Szoboszlai later said the crowd noise was so intense that he could not hear the referee’s whistle before taking the penalty. The draw gave both clubs one point from their opening fixture.
