**Newcastle, England** – Mohamed Salah’s brilliance wasn’t enough to secure a victory for Liverpool at St. James’ Park as Newcastle fought back from behind to earn a thrilling 3-3 draw in a Premier League clash Wednesday.

Salah, who now shares the Premier League’s top goalscorer title with Erling Haaland, scored twice in the second half, both times assisted by Trent Alexander-Arnold, after Curtis Jones had earlier equalized. However, Newcastle, energized by strong midfield performances from Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, refused to be outdone. Goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon put the home side ahead, before Fabian Schar’s late goal snatched a point with a stunning late strike from a free kick that bounced awkwardly in front of Kelleher.

Liverpool, despite their impressive start to the season, now sit seven points clear of Chelsea, maintaining their league lead with a record of 11-2-1. Newcastle’s draw moves them to ninth place on 20 points.

The match was a back-and-forth affair, full of attacking intent from both sides. Newcastle’s Eddie Howe praised his side’s performance, highlighting the midfield trio’s dominance. Liverpool manager Arne Slot made a triple substitution in the 67th minute, introducing Alexander-Arnold, who proved instrumental in Liverpool’s late surge.
