Liverpool draw with Newcastle at St James’ Park as Dominik Szoboszlai scores a stoppage-time penalty to deny the hosts victory in the Premier League opener. Liverpool had appeared to be heading for defeat after Newcastle took the lead through Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock, before Cody Gakpo briefly levelled for the visitors in the second half.
Multiple reports describe a game turning on late drama. Newcastle’s early goals give them momentum and, with the scoring spread across the match, Liverpool’s response comes after being behind for parts of the contest. As the match reaches stoppage time, Szoboszlai’s penalty shifts the result from a Newcastle win to a point for Liverpool.
Outlets converge on the key sequence—Newcastle’s goals, Gakpo’s equaliser, and Szoboszlai’s final penalty—while differing in emphasis. BBC Sport focuses on the decisive nature of the late penalty and the fact it rescues Liverpool, while the Guyana Chronicle also highlights the broader storyline of Newcastle’s manager change and the apparent opening-match success that is ultimately denied.
