Szoboszlai's Late Penalty Secures Draw for Liverpool

In a dramatic encounter, Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai scored a penalty with the last kick of the game, rescuing a 2-2 draw against Newcastle. This match marked Andoni Iraola's first game in charge of Liverpool following the sacking of Arne Slot and the departure of Mohamed Salah to Trabzonspor.

Newcastle took the lead in the first half through Anthony Elanga, but Liverpool equalized shortly after the interval with a goal from Cody Gakpo. Joe Willock then restored Newcastle's advantage with his first Premier League goal since 2024.

However, Szoboszlai's composure under pressure allowed him to convert a stoppage-time penalty after Lewis Hall fouled Victor Munoz, ensuring Liverpool left with a point. The match highlighted defensive vulnerabilities for Liverpool, reminiscent of the issues that plagued Slot's tenure last season.
