Newcastle United and Liverpool drew 2–2 at St James Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, on 23 August 2026 (Premier League, matchday 1). Two managers taking charge of their first competitive match on the same afternoon, a sold-out Tyneside and a finish that runs deep into stoppage time.
5' Five minutes gone, and Elanga has St James' Park bouncing. Osula leads the break and releases the winger with a weighted pass. Elanga takes a touch and finishes across Alisson, and the new Liverpool manager's first competitive match is already going wrong.
HT Half time. One-nil down, and Liverpool have had all the ball. Sixty-one per cent possession and nothing to show for it. Iraola has Mac Allister, Muñoz and Araújo on the bench and forty-five minutes to use them.
55' Gravenberch finds Gakpo, and he lets fly from twenty yards. At last. Gakpo collects, turns and drives it low into the bottom corner past Horníček. St James' Park falls quiet for the first time all afternoon.
57' One hundred and seventy-six seconds after the equaliser, Willock restores the lead. He has been on the pitch for less than two minutes. The finish is superb and St James' Park erupts again. Liverpool have been level for barely three minutes.
90+' Hall brings down Muñoz. Attwell points to the spot. The sixth minute of stoppage time, and the substitute is felled inside the box. With Salah gone and Isak not stepping up, Szoboszlai takes it. He hammers it home at 98:06 — Liverpool's latest Premier League penalty since Dirk Kuyt in 2011 — and St James' Park is broken.
