  "account": "Liverpool snatched a 2-2 draw against Newcastle at St James' Park, securing a crucial point for the English club. Dominik Szoboszlai scored the decisive penalty in the 99th minute, rescuing the point after Iraola's side trailed twice. Andoni Iraola, the Newcastle manager, expressed relief with the outcome but acknowledged that his team did not deserve to lose. Pat Nevin, a former Scotland winger, criticized Liverpool's performance, noting the lack of creativity and depth in their squad. The focus was on Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, both signed for nine-figure fees last summer, who failed to live up to expectations. The article highlighted the need for more depth and creativity in Liverpool's squad, as well as the uncertainty surrounding Cody Gakpo's future. Despite the mixed performance, Iraola was content with the result and the team's fighting spirit.",
