Szoboszlai snatches it deep in stoppage time

The moment

Anthony Elanga had given Newcastle reason to believe at St James' Park, and for large stretches of the match the hosts looked set to bank three points on the first weekend of the Premier League season. Liverpool, though, found a way. Szoboszlai, cool from twelve yards in the kind of moment that defines a player's standing at a club, sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and earned his side a share of the spoils.

The full picture of the match, every goalscorer, the exact scoreline, whether VAR or a red card shaped the afternoon, has not been confirmed beyond Capital Sports' report, so the details around that penalty are still being pieced together. What is clear is the outcome: Liverpool leave the north-east with a point they looked like losing.

What it means for both clubs

For Liverpool, a draw on the road on opening day is not a disaster, but the manner of it will matter. Snatching a result rather than controlling one is a different kind of resilience, and Arne Slot's side will know they left room for Newcastle to build a lead in the first place. The point still counts, and Szoboszlai delivering in that moment is the kind of early-season confidence boost a squad can carry for weeks.

For Newcastle, this one will sting. Eddie Howe's team had Elanga contributing to what should have been a winning platform at home, and they ended the opening day having conceded from the spot in added time and dropped two home points before the season was a week old.
