Premier League leaders Liverpool were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw against Newcastle in a pulsating match at St James’ Park, hailed as one of the season’s best contests.
The Reds found themselves trailing twice before Mohamed Salah’s brilliant brace gave them the lead, setting the stage for what seemed like a fifth consecutive league victory. However, Newcastle’s Fabian Schär struck a 90th-minute equalizer, securing a well-earned point for the hosts after a relentless battle.
“That was one of the best games I’ve seen this season,” remarked former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin during his post-match analysis on BBC Radio 5 Live. “It was an incredible ebb and flow, and in the end, both sides will feel content with the result.”
