Iraola rescued at the death for his Liverpool debut

Iraola rescued at the death for his Liverpool debut Right down to the wire! This Sunday, the Premier League served up its first blockbuster clash 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 brought in during the offseason to replace Arne Slot. 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! 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. Andoni Iraola therefore does not begin his official Liverpool journey with a defeat. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here.
