Szoboszlai snatches 99th-min Liverpool leveller to deny Newcastle deserved win

BREAKING: Dominik Szoboszlai scores a 99th-minute penalty to rescue a 2-2 draw for Liverpool at Newcastle, denying the hosts a deserved win.

A penalty in the ninety ninth minute. Szoboszlai has just silenced St James' Park.

Newcastle had this won. They led early, they were the better side for long stretches, and the champions looked rattled. Then deep, and I mean deep, into stoppage time, Liverpool win a penalty, and Dominik Szoboszlai steps up with the whole ground howling at him. You can see the moment right here. He buries it. Two two.

Newcastle players dropped to the turf like they'd lost a cup final, and honestly, it felt like one. A deserved win turned into a draw by the last kick of the day. That's what buying the deepest squad in England gets you, points you haven't really earned.

So Liverpool escape with a point they barely deserved, and Newcastle go home with the oldest lesson in football. Against the champions, ninety minutes is never ninety minutes.
