Szoboszlai's stoppage-time penalty earns Liverpool 2-2 draw at Newcastle in first meeting since Isak's £125m move

Dominik Szoboszlai's stoppage-time penalty rescued Liverpool a 2-2 draw at St James' Park on 23 August 2026, after Newcastle led twice through Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock. It was the first meeting since Alexander Isak's £125m move from Newcastle to Liverpool, forced through a one-man strike that left bruised feelings on Tyneside. Andoni Iraola and Matthias Jaissle took charge of their first league game for each club.
