Liverpool salvaged a 2-2 draw at Newcastle United on Sunday, with Dominik Szoboszlai converting a late penalty to secure a point for his side, according to RTE.ie.
The match, played at St James' Park, saw Liverpool fall behind before Szoboszlai stepped up in the closing moments to level the score. The result means Liverpool avoided defeat in their opening league fixture of the season, as reported by RTE.ie.
Newcastle had taken a 2-1 lead before the Hungarian midfielder's stoppage-time spot-kick rescued the visitors. Sky Sports reported that the penalty was a "last-minute leveller" that saved Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola from starting the campaign with a loss.
The game featured several notable debuts. Newcastle United confirmed that Horníček, Dedić, and Steur all made their first appearances for the club in the match. Liverpool, meanwhile, had earlier published their confirmed starting lineup for the contest, though details of those selections were not included in the available reports.
The Guardian described Szoboszlai's goal as a "late, late leveller" that earned Liverpool a hard-fought point on the road. The draw leaves both teams with one point from their opening match of the new Premier League season.
Liverpool will now look to build on the result when they play their first home game of the campaign, while Newcastle will aim to turn a strong performance into a victory in their next outing.
