Domonik Szoboszlai buried a penalty on the final kick of the game as Liverpool shared points with Newcastle after a 2-2 draw at St. James’ Park. New signee Victor Munoz drew the penalty in the 99th minute after coming on as a sub.
- Alisson (6/10): Nothing he could do about the two goals
- Van Dijk (6/10): Some good moments in the back, but needs to mentor the younger players on the back line
- Jacquet (5/10): Not bad, but like the rest of the defense, was caught out too often
- Kerkez (4/10): Struggled defensively; will have to do better in the future
- Wirtz (5/10): Quiet game, needs to have more of an impact if he gets starter’s minutes
- Szoboszlai (7/10): Created chances from set pieces and was solid coming forward. Buried a penalty in stoppage time.
- Isak (5/10): Missed an open net, but was under tremendous pressure playing against his old team
- Gakpo (7/10): Grabbed the equalizer and created other chances
- Frimpong (6/10): Some solid moments, but not enough for a higher rating
- Gravenberch (6/10): Strong in his midfield role. No real mistakes
- Ngumoha (5/10): Needed to see more bounce and electricity from the lad
Substitutes
- Mac Allister (6/10): A couple of good passes to set up some late chance
- Muñoz (7/10): The brightest of the subs
- Araújo (5/10): Looked like he lacked pace coming off the bench
- Koumas (6/10): Earned a late corner
Man of the Match
The Manager
- Andoni Iraola (6/10): Needs to find an answer at the back. We will see how he adjusts next match
LFC Globe Verdict
The Reds were lucky to get a point, but they will take it. The Reds need to find answers against the counterattack, and they cannot be completely happy, but this is a better result than a loss.
