  "account": "Liverpool secured a dramatic 2-2 draw against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday, thanks to a late penalty from Dominik Szoboszlai. Newcastle had taken the lead in the first half through Anthony Elanga, who capitalized on a mistake by William Osula. Liverpool equalized just before halftime thanks to a well-placed goal from Cody Gakpo. However, the visitors extended their advantage in the second half when substitute Joe Willock scored a fine effort into the top corner. Just two minutes after taking the lead, Newcastle seemed poised for victory as Elanga again broke away, this time finding the back of the net to his own name. Liverpool were level for only a short time before Szoboszlai stepped up to take a stoppage-time penalty. The 23-year-old delivered his kick with great composure, sending the ball into the roof of the net to secure a crucial point for Liverpool in a thrilling finale to a memorable matchday at St James' Park.",
