What happened
Liverpool rescued a dramatic 2-2 draw at Newcastle United thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai's 99th-minute goal. Newcastle, who had been leading and pressing for what would have been a deserved win, were denied all three points in the dying moments. The result leaves both teams with mixed feelings — Newcastle frustrated at dropping two points from a winning position, while Liverpool grateful for a point earned against the run of play in the closing seconds.
Chance analysis
Liverpool's escape at St James' Park will feel like a reprieve for Arne Slot's side, who were outplayed for long stretches and looked destined to head home empty-handed until Szoboszlai intervened in the final moments. For Newcastle, the draw is a gutting outcome — they had the better of the game, led for much of it, and appeared seconds from a statement win against one of the league's heavyweights. The result preserves Liverpool's unbeaten run but masks underlying performance concerns, while Newcastle will be left wondering how they did not convert dominance into victory.
Liverpool salvages a point from a poor away performance; Newcastle drops two points from a dominant display, a significant morale and standings blow.
