Newcastle and Liverpool finished without a winner – 3-3 at St. James’ Park in a match that will be remembered with Mo Salah’s another phenomenal performance with 2 goals and an assist, but that was not enough for his team to win.
The Magpies scored the only goal in the 1st half after a phenomenal shot outside the box from Alexander Isak in the 35th minute.

However, at the beginning of the 2nd half, the Reds also scored as Curtis Jones tied the result in the 50th minute after Salah’s assist.
The home side, however, once again took the lead when Anthony Gordon netted in the 62nd minute after Isak’s assist. After that moment, Liverpool showed why they are the best team in the Premier League since the beginning of the season and why Mohamed Salah is the best player in the league so far as the Egyptian scored twice after 2 assists from the reserve Trent Alexander-Arnold.
When Arne Slot’s side thought that they had won another match after a comeback, Fabian Schar scored in the 90th minute to make it 3-3 as the defender was able to score after a huge mistake from Kelleher.
