Full-time: Newcastle 2-2 Liverpool<\/p>\n
That penalty was indeed the last kick of the game. Lewis Hall has his head in his hands. St James\u2019 Park is stunned, save for a jubilant Liverpool<\/a> away end, high in the stands.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Newcastle 2-2 Liverpool (Szoboszlai 90+9)<\/p>\n For the second year in a row, Liverpool<\/a> have scored a late goal to crush Newcastle. Szoboszlai absolutely wellies the spot kick into the top corner. What a pen.<\/p>\n Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai scores their second goal from the penalty spot.

Gakpo has the ball in his hands at the moment. No, it\u2019s going to be Szoboszlai with the penalty.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Penalty to Liverpool! Munoz is tripped by Hall!<\/p>\n 90+5 min: Liverpool<\/a> with a chance to equalise with what should be the last kick of the game. Stuart Attwell gave the penalty on the pitch and VAR will not overturn this. It is a clear penalty! Hall has been excellent all game but that was a tired attempt at a tackle.<\/p>\n Victor Munoz of Liverpool is fouled by Lewis Hall of Newcastle United leading to a penalty.

These Newcastle fans are cheering everything now. Liverpool\u2019s players look resigned.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min: Szoboszlai\u2019s corner is punched away by Hornicek. The Newcastle goalkeeper has had an excellent Premier League<\/a> debut.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min: Koumas finds space but looks unconvincing as he approaches Newcastle\u2019s box, his deflected shot at least earning Liverpool<\/a> a corner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min: Five minutes added on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 89 min: It is the home side that look the more dangerous! Murphy flashes a brilliant low cross across the face of Liverpool\u2019s goal. No Newcastle player gambles and the ball flies away from danger.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 88 min: Newcastle remain in a mid-block but ready to spring on the counter-attack. Liverpool<\/a> have possession but look devoid of ideas, particularly with Wirtz off the field.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Wissa goes clean through!<\/p>\n 86 min: Wissa has a chance to kill the game for Newcastle, wriggling free of the Liverpool<\/a> defence, but Alisson advances and spreads himself expertly to block the Newcastle forward\u2019s shot with his legs. Liverpool are still in this.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min: As if to accentuate Liverpool\u2019s afternoon, Van Dijk tries one of this trademark diagonal passes, which bounces straight into touch.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min: Speaking of left-backs, Lewis Hall has been excellent for Newcastle. He didn\u2019t give Ngumoha an inch and is increasingly winning the duels with Mu\u00f1oz.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 81 min: \u201cAre we sure that Kerkez is better than Robertson (who they got rid of) and is justifying his price tag?\u201d asks Dechlan Brennan.<\/p>\n No, we are not. Although in fairness we should qualify that Prime Robertson was one of the best left-backs of his generation. And I\u2019m not sure there is any left-back in the world that would relish tracking Anthony Elanga for 76 minutes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.17 EDT<\/p>\n 79 min: Szoboszlai rattles his free-kick into the Newcastle wall. Those brave, brave boys.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min: Murphy\u2019s first action is to leave a couple of studs in Mac Allister\u2019s ankle. Yellow card for the Newcastle substitute. Free-kick for Liverpool<\/a> in a promising position. The visitors use the break in play to make another change: Gravenberch for Lewis Koumas, a young forward and son of former Wigan midfielder Jason Koumas.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.10 EDT<\/p>\n 76 min: Newcastle make a double change: Lewis Miley and Anthony Elanga are replaced by Aladji Bamba and Jacob Murphy. Like-for-like changes in central midfield and on the right wing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min: Wissa, arguably the best player on the pitch, wins a foul for Newcastle after slipping past Szoboszlai. Newcastle and their fans are beginning to glance at the clock.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 72 min: Mu\u00f1oz has made a real difference since coming on for Liverpool<\/a> and he bursts forward from the right wing, feeding Szoboszlai. The ball eventually reaches Kerkez on the left but Liverpool\u2019s left back doesn\u2019t get his cross right. Isak was completely free at the back post and he doesn\u2019t hold back when complaining to his teammate for that delivery.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Big chance for Isak!<\/p>\n 70 min: Gakpo nods a cross perfectly into Isak\u2019s path \u2013 15 yards from goal and central \u2013 but the Liverpool<\/a> No 9 leans back and launches a shot towards the away Liverpool fans, high in the stand. That was an excellent chance, albeit on Isak\u2019s weaker left foot.<\/p>\n Alexander Isak of Liverpool puts a shot over the goal. Photograph: Richard Lee\/ShutterstockShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.12 EDT<\/p>\n Wissa should score!<\/p>\n 68 min: Hall gets free for Newcastle on the left, rolls a delicious low cross across Liverpool\u2019s six-yard box towards Wissa \u2026 who steals a march on his marker \u2026 but fails to make any contact on the cross! Wissa only had to poke it past Alisson and it would have been 3-1!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min: Mac Allister has moved to the base of Liverpool\u2019s midfield, with Gravenberch and Szoboszlai slightly more advanced. What that means is that when Newcastle counter-attack, Liverpool\u2019s defensive midfielder is now one of the slowest players in the Premier League<\/a>. Interesting tinkering from Iraola.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 min: Jacob Ramsey is booked for a challenge on Isak, but replays show the Newcastle sub took the ball cleanly.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 min: Two changes for Liverpool: Wirtz, largely ineffective, is hooked after an hour for Mac Allister. V\u00edctor Mu\u00f1oz, who reportedly was on the verge of signing for Newcastle before joining Liverpool<\/a>, replaces the disappointing Ngumoha.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min: Movement on the Liverpool<\/a> bench. Iraola has seen enough.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Newcastle 2-1 Liverpool (Willock 57)<\/p>\n One minute after coming on, Willock gives Newcastle the lead again! It\u2019s another surging counter-attack, this time led by Wissa, who somehow deceived three Liverpool<\/a> defenders on the half-way line before releasing Willock. The Newcastle substitute received a pass from Wissa on the run, cut inside and somehow dug out a finish from 20 yards despite being off-balance. The ball curled past Alisson and kissed the far post before nestling into the net!<\/p>\n Newcastle United\u2019s Joe Willock scores their second goal.

There were just 176 seconds between the Liverpool equaliser and Newcastle\u2019s second goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.54 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Liverpool (Gakpo 54)<\/p>\n After his sighter a moment ago, Gakpo makes no mistake with his second long-range attempt! After trotting infield from the left flank, the Dutchman finds himself completely unmarked between Newcastle\u2019s midfield and defence. Gakpo has all the time in the world to turn on the ball, amble towards Newcastle\u2019s penalty area, and fire into the far corner. Where was the Newcastle marking?<\/p>\n Cody Gakpo of Liverpool scores his team\u2019s first goal. Photograph: Liverpool FC\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.56 EDT<\/p>\n Close from Gakpo!<\/p>\n 52 min: Good play from Wirtz, who knits together a few passes in midfield, drawing Newcastle bodies to him before releasing Kerkez. The Liverpool<\/a> left-back finds Gakpo, who curls a long-range juuuuuust over the Newcastle bar. That was close. Hornicek was nowhere near it, and it that was a yard lower, it was a goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 50 min: Ngumoha, given a rare chance in the final third to run at Hall, instead tries to play a pass to the underlapping Frimpong, but instead passes the ball straight out for a Newcastle goal-kick. Eeeeeeesh.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 48 min: Wissa shows another deft touch to get away from Gravenberch but the Liverpool<\/a> midfielder recovers and hooks a foot around the Newcastle forward to make an outstanding tackle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 46 min: Liverpool<\/a> immediately fashion a corner. They look like they have had a rollicking at half-time. The corner is flicked on at the near post towards Isak at the far \u2026 but Hornicek punches clear. That was a crucial intervention with the former Newcastle striker lurking.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.37 EDT<\/p>\n Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!<\/p>\n The teams are back out.

There are hopeful crosses, and shots from distance but this isn\u2019t a fluid, attacking Liverpool side that was promised when Iraola joined. Credit must go to Newcastle for making it difficult. The home side have not stopped running, pressing at every opportunity.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 min: Wissa trips Gravenberch in midfield and is a tad lucky to escape a second yellow card. It wasn\u2019t a bad foul, but he did prevent a Liverpool<\/a> counter-attack. Wissa receives what surely must be a final warning from Stuart Attwell. It remains 11 versus 11. For now.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 40 min: Liverpool<\/a> have had 10 shots to Newcastle\u2019s five but have only tested Hornicek on one occasion. Much rests for Liverpool on Wirtz and Isak, and both have been quiet in this first 40 minutes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 38 min: The first lull of the game. My fingers hurt.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 36 min: \u201cThere\u2019ll be a lot of cliches trotted out today about Kevin Keegan, and one of them will no doubt be that he \u2018transcended his sport and his nationality\u2019, but looking back, that\u2019s actually true,\u201d emails Justin Kavanagh. \u201cAs a schoolboy in Ireland, and definitely NOT a Liverpool<\/a> fan, I really admired his tenacity and his attitude. I once broke my leg in France, and when the ambulance guys heard me speaking English, the first words out of their mouth was\u2026 \u2018ahhh, Keveen Keegeen.\u2019 Thanks for the memories Mr. Keegan.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 34 min: Frimpong is a good player, possibly not a right back, but his end product is often left wanting and butchers a Liverpool<\/a> counter-attack here with a dismal attempt at a cross. Liverpool attackers were lining up at the far post but Frimpong effectively passed it to the nearest Newcastle player.<\/p>\n
