Newcastle 2-2 Liverpool: Dominik Szoboszlai penalty rescues point as tribute pour in for Kevin Keegan

Kevin Keegan was honoured at St James’ Park before kick-off Getty Damian Spellman 2 minutes ago COMMENTS Dominik Szoboszlai converted a stoppage-time penalty to snatch a draw as Newcastle and Liverpool served up a Premier League thriller of which Kevin Keegan would have been proud.

The Hungary international struck in the ninth minute of added time to clinch a 2-2 draw which extended his side’s unbeaten run at St James’ Park to 10 games after Lewis Hall had been adjudged to have brought down substitute Victor Munoz.

It was tough on the hosts, who looked to have won it through substitute Joe Willock’s 57th-minute strike just seconds after his introduction in the wake of the Cody Gakpo equaliser which had cancelled out Anthony Elanga’s first-half opener.

On a day when Tyneside and Merseyside united to celebrate Keegan’s contribution to both clubs, Yoane Wissa turned in his best performance yet for Newcastle as £130million man Alexander Isak, the man he was in part bought to replace, suffered a miserable return to St James’ in front of a hostile crowd of 52,630.

New Magpies boss Matthias Jaissle, who has had just weeks to work with a squad which could still be reshaped further before the transfer window closes, will have been delighted with much of what he saw from his players, while opposite number Andoni Iraola headed back across the Pennines relieved, but with questions to be answered.
