Szoboszlai penalty salvages late draw for Liverpool at Newcastle

Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stoppage-time penalty to secure a draw for Liverpool against Newcastle, who were playing under new head coach Matthias Jaissle.

  • Dominik Szoboszlai scored a penalty in stoppage time to level the score for Liverpool.
  • Newcastle's new head coach, Matthias Jaissle, saw his team take an early lead through William Osula.
  • Former Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, now with Liverpool, was greeted with hostility by home fans.

Dominik Szoboszlai's stoppage-time penalty secured a point for Liverpool in a chaotic encounter against Newcastle on Sunday. The match, which marked Andoni Iraola's Premier League debut as Liverpool's head coach, saw Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle take an early lead.

Newcastle's William Osula opened the scoring just five minutes in, following a turnover of possession by Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch. Osula then set up Anthony Elanga, whose shot beat Alisson. This early goal put pressure on Iraola's Liverpool side.

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo equalised in the second half with a first-time shot from outside the area. Joe Willock, a Newcastle substitute, then restored the home side's lead, curling a shot past Alisson after a pass from Yoane Wissa.

The game's dramatic conclusion saw Liverpool awarded a penalty deep in injury time when Lewis Hall fouled Victor Muñoz. Szoboszlai converted the spot-kick, firing it high into the net to level the score.
