Key answer
The claims summarized as ‘Newcastle 2-2 Liverpool’ or ‘Dominik Szoboszlai’s 99th-minute penalty’ conflict with the official records currently available. The Premier League’s official match centre recorded the August 25, 2025 match between Newcastle United and Liverpool as a 2-3 victory for Liverpool.
Liverpool’s scorers were Ryan Gravenberch, Hugo Ekitike, and Rio Ngumoha. Newcastle came back from 0-2 to 2-2 through goals by Bruno Guimarães and William Osula, but then conceded again in stoppage time and lost.
Why it is making headlines now
This issue is best understood as a correction of a misreported or misidentified match result, rather than as a reflection of the search phrase detected on August 26, 2026. The detected wording highlights a ‘dramatic 2-2 draw’ and ‘Szoboszlai’s 99th-minute penalty’, but the available official match record, club reports, and BBC Sport coverage all converge on a 3-2 Liverpool win.
Confirmed facts
The official Premier League record lists the final result as Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool. The same record names Gravenberch, Ekitike, and Ngumoha as Liverpool’s scorers, while Newcastle’s goals were scored by Bruno Guimarães and Osula.
Liverpool’s official report explains that Rio Ngumoha scored in stoppage time to give Liverpool a 3-2 win. Newcastle’s official report likewise states that Newcastle fought back from 0-2 to 2-2 before conceding in added time and losing.
BBC Sport reported that Ngumoha scored the stoppage-time winner at the age of 16 years and 361 days, securing Liverpool’s 3-2 victory. The official match record also shows that Anthony Gordon was sent off in first-half stoppage time.
What to keep in mind
Published content should not state that ‘Szoboszlai scored an equalizing penalty in the 99th minute’ or that ‘the match ended in a 2-2 draw’ as fact. Based on the verification materials provided, there is no evidence supporting those claims; instead, they conflict with the official record and club reports.
The match should therefore be described factually as ‘Liverpool’s 3-2 away win at Newcastle’, ‘the match in which Rio Ngumoha scored the stoppage-time winner’, or ‘the match in which Newcastle came back from 0-2 to 2-2 before conceding late’.
