Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League was cut to seven points after a dramatic 3-3 draw against Newcastle at St James’ Park.
Mohamed Salah’s second-half brace appeared to secure a thrilling win for Liverpool, but a late mistake from goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher allowed Fabian Schar to score and equalize for the hosts.
Newcastle took the lead at halftime thanks to Alexander Isak’s powerful strike.
Liverpool responded early in the second half with Curtis Jones leveling the score, but Anthony Gordon put Newcastle back in front.
Salah then turned the game on its head, scoring twice, including a shot that hit the crossbar.
However, Schar’s last-minute goal ensured the match ended in a draw.
With this result, Liverpool saw their impressive run of seven consecutive wins broken and had their title advantage trimmed due to Chelsea’s decisive victory against Southampton.
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s inconsistent performance leaves them outside the top half of the table, having won only twice in their last ten league matches.
