Szoboszlai: 50,000 Booed Me, It Was So Loud I Couldn't Hear the Whistle

Facing the jeers of 50,000 fans while taking a penalty isn't the most pleasant experience, but for Dominik Szoboszlai, it's precisely why he loves football. His stoppage-time penalty in the ninth minute secured a dramatic 2-2 draw for Liverpool against Newcastle in their Premier League opener.

Earlier, Cody Gakpo had equalized after Anthony Elanga's opener, before Joe Willock put the Magpies back in front.

"It was so loud I couldn't hear the referee's whistle. I had to look at him to make sure I could take the penalty. He looked at me and I thought, 'Okay, it's time.' I practiced a lot of penalties during pre-season, but we didn't get any in the friendlies. I did it in training though, and this is the moment to thank the reserve goalkeepers. We're taking the positives from this game, as it's only the first of the season. We look forward," Szoboszlai told Sky Sports.

"I don't know how many people were in the stadium. Maybe 50,000 were booing me when I took the penalty. You can't even hear your own voice. But that's why we love football. That's why I love football. As I said before, we move on," he added.
