Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s stoppage-time penalty in the 2–2 draw with Newcastle United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match took place at St James’ Park on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Szoboszlai converted in the ninth minute of stoppage time, rescuing a point for Liverpool in a dramatic finish. The penalty came after Victor Muñoz was fouled in the Newcastle area.
Liverpool had earlier equalised through Cody Gakpo, while Newcastle regained the lead through substitute Joe Willock. Szoboszlai’s late kick was therefore both the final goal and the moment that secured Liverpool’s opening-weekend draw.
The Hungarian midfielder was chosen to take the penalty rather than former Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who had moved to Liverpool the previous summer. That detail created an unusual emotional subplot in a match already marked by tributes to former Newcastle player and manager Kevin Keegan.
