Iraola spared at the death on his Liverpool debut | OneFootball

Right down to the wire!

This Sunday, the Premier League served up its first blockbuster of the 2026-2027 season between Newcastle and Liverpool.

On one side were the Magpies, led by Matthias Jaissle, who arrived this summer as Eddie Howe’s successor; on the other were the Reds, with Andoni Iraola at the helm, also appointed during the offseason as Arne Slot’s successor.

The outcome of this match was decided in the 98th minute!

Trailing 2-1, the Reds equalized at the very last second thanks to a penalty won by Víctor Muñoz and converted by Dominik Szoboszlai!

Final score: 2-2.

The Magpies had gone ahead through goals from Anthony Elanga (4') and Joe Willock (57'). Cody Gakpo had managed to level for Liverpool (55') before the Magpies went back in front just seconds later.

So Andoni Iraola does not begin his official Liverpool adventure with a defeat.
