What happened. Newcastle led 2-1 until Liverpool were awarded a stoppage-time penalty, converted by Dominik Szoboszlai, to snatch a 2-2 draw.

• Jaissle called the penalty 'really soft' and warned it could lead to many more.
• Alexander Isak was booed all match and skied a good chance.
• Iraola praised Isak's effort despite his disappointing return.

“I think you call it here a 'really soft one'. If you give that there will be so many penalties in the future.”

— Matthias Jaissle

Newcastle showed promise under Jaissle but must turn strong performances into wins.
