Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stoppage-time penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw for Liverpool at Newcastle United on Sunday. Anthony Elanga opened the scoring for Newcastle in the fifth minute, but Cody Gakpo equalized on 55 minutes. Joe Willock restored Newcastle's lead with a long-range strike two minutes later. Lewis Hall fouled Liverpool debutant Víctor Muñoz in the box late, earning a penalty that Szoboszlai converted in the ninth minute of added time.

Matthias Jaissle, replacing Eddie Howe at Newcastle, and new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola shared the spoils on their league debuts. Iraola praised his side's effort despite the late concession, noting his team's energy from the bench. Alexander Isak, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle last season, was kept quiet on his return to St. James' Park. Before kickoff, both teams paid tribute to Kevin Keegan, who passed away last month at age 75, wearing warmup shirts reading "Keegan" and number 7.
