Who converted Liverpool’s late penalty against Newcastle United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

Dominik Szoboszlai converted Liverpool’s late penalty against Newcastle United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Szoboszlai scored from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time to rescue a point for Liverpool.

The match had several major storylines. Cody Gakpo scored Liverpool’s other goal, while Joe Willock restored Newcastle’s lead after coming on as a substitute. Alexander Isak, who had moved from Newcastle to Liverpool, also faced his former club in an emotionally charged fixture.

The penalty was awarded after Liverpool substitute Victor Muñoz was fouled in the area by Lewis Hall. Szoboszlai, rather than Isak, took responsibility and sent the ball into the top-left corner.
