The Hungarian Midfielder Fired the Spot-kick Into the Roof of the Net After the Hosts Had Led Twice Through Two Clinical Counter-attacks

Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stoppage-time penalty as Liverpool salvaged a 2-2 draw at Newcastle United in the Premier League season opener on Saturday. The Hungarian midfielder fired the spot-kick into the roof of the net after the hosts had led twice through two clinical counter-attacks. Newcastle took the lead after just five minutes when they caught Liverpool on the break, with Viaplay football expert Lars Tjærnås praising the move.

"It is completely impossible to counter-attack better than Newcastle are doing. A counter-attack worthy of a six on the dice!" he said. "I think it is surprising how poorly Liverpool handle the long balls Newcastle have played, and how poorly they handle the second balls, Tjærnås said.

Ten minutes into the second half, Liverpool hit back as Cody Gakpo set himself and fired the equalizer into the far corner. But Newcastle's counter-attacking play soon paid off again, with Joe Willock finishing a swift move." Once again a razor-sharp counter-attack from the home team, commentator Kasper Wikestad said.
