The story behind the answer

Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s stoppage-time penalty in the 2–2 draw with Newcastle United in August 2026.

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 one of the round’s most dramatic finishes.

The penalty was awarded after Newcastle defender Lewis Hall fouled Liverpool substitute Victor Muñoz inside the area. Szoboszlai then placed the ball into the top-left corner, completing Liverpool’s late recovery.

Cody Gakpo had earlier equalised for Liverpool, while Anthony Elanga and substitute Joe Willock scored for Newcastle. The match was also marked by tributes to Kevin Keegan, who had played for and managed Newcastle and had also represented Liverpool.
