Who scored Liverpool’s last-gasp penalty against Newcastle United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s last-gasp penalty against Newcastle United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

Liverpool drew 2–2 with Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday 23 August 2026. Szoboszlai converted a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time, rescuing a point for Liverpool in the final scheduled match of the Sunday programme.

Newcastle had taken an early lead through Anthony Elanga, who scored after only five minutes. The match was played during an emotional tribute to Kevin Keegan, who had represented both clubs as a player and managed Newcastle.

The late penalty made Szoboszlai one of the opening weekend’s most important figures. It also gave Liverpool and Newcastle a point each rather than allowing Newcastle to claim victory in a dramatic home opener.
