Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s stoppage-time penalty in the 2–2 draw at Newcastle during the 2026–27 opening weekend.
Szoboszlai converted a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time to earn Liverpool a 2–2 draw at St James’ Park. The late equaliser capped a dramatic Sunday match and ensured Liverpool left Newcastle with a point rather than a defeat.
The fixture also carried an emotional atmosphere because Newcastle and Liverpool paid tribute to Kevin Keegan, who had played for both clubs and managed Newcastle. Players gathered around the centre circle before kick-off, while supporters displayed tributes in the stands.
The match’s late scorer can be confused with Marcus Tavernier, who scored Manchester City’s opening-weekend goal for Bournemouth. Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães were Newcastle midfielders mentioned in the wider match context, but Szoboszlai was Liverpool’s penalty taker.
