Liverpool began the Andoni Iraola era with a 2-2 draw against Newcastle in their Premier League season-opener. The Reds fell behind after just five minutes when Anthony Elanga struck from close range.
Gakpo leveller and Willock response
Cody Gakpo levelled with an impressive finish in the second half, but the home side responded two minutes later as Joe Willock scored his first league goal in over two years.
Seconds away from defeat, Liverpool were handed a lifeline when Lewis Hall brought down Victor Munoz to concede a penalty. Dominik Szoboszlai emphatically converted in the 99th minute to secure a point.
Transfer window priorities
With the September 1 transfer deadline just over a week away, the Reds are in need of reinforcements to give Iraola the best possible chance of success in his debut campaign.
Liverpool remain firmly in the hunt for Bradley Barcola and Yankuba Minteh as they look to transform their capabilities on the wings.
