Late penalty for Liverpool denies Newcastle win

Dominik Szoboszlai scored a late 99th-minute penalty to secure a 2-2 draw for Liverpool in a tense match against Newcastle United. New manager Matthias Jaissle was unable to secure victory in his first Premier League game in charge. Here's how we rated the players:

Lukas Hornicek made a solid debut in the Premier League, making a crucial save to prevent Florian Wirtz's effort in the first half and pushing away Alexander Isak's header after the break. His performance earned him a rating of 7.

Amar Dedic, who made his first outing for the club just days after completing a £30m move from Benfica, had a crucial intervention in the build-up to Newcastle's goal, hooking the ball away as Ryan Gravenberch looked to pick out Cody Gakpo. He received a rating of 7.

Malick Thiaw, who wore the captain's armband in Dan Burn's absence, battled and looked to pick out William Osula with a weighed pass, putting Liverpool under pressure. His rating was 7.

Sven Botman, who was rusty in pre-season but more assured here, made a significant block to deter Cody Gakpo's shot but was among those who backed off for the Dutchman's goal. His rating was 6.

Lewis Hall was left disappointed after conceding a stoppage-time penalty following a coming together with Victor Munoz. Despite dealing well with Ngumoha and coolly taking the ball off Isak's toe inside the box, his rating was 6.

Lewis Miley, who had only one half of pre-season action after recovering from a broken leg, proved to be an important player with a crucial crossfield ball to send Dedic down the right, earning him a standing ovation. His rating was 7.

Sean Steur, who was only 18, was composed and positive in his first Premier League appearance, earning a rating of 7. Anthony Elanga, who had a poor opening-day performance against Aston Villa, took his chance and picked out the bottom corner for the opening goal, receiving a rating of 7.

Yoane Wissa, who was clearly relishing the added responsibility from Jaissle in the number 10 position, was aggressive, sharp, and carried the ball superbly to set up Willock's goal, earning him an 8.

Harvey Barnes started ahead of Bazoumana Toure but was not involved enough in the match, receiving a rating of 6.

William Osula led Newcastle's breakaway in the build-up to their first goal and made a sensible decision on when to release Elanga with a weighed pass. Despite battling with a knock, his rating was 7.

Joe Willock made a significant impact, still having a lot to do for the goal but taking it well. His rating was 7. Jacob Ramsey, who came on as a substitute, brought added energy to the match.

Substitutes not used included Jaouen, Shahar, Toure, and Woltemade. Alisson, the Liverpool goalkeeper, could have been in a better position for Anthony Elanga's goal and failed to keep out Joe Willock's strike. The ratings for Alisson, Jeremie Frimpong, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, and Dominik Szoboszlai were 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, and 7, respectively.
