Liverpool's position at the Premier League summit was weakened as a dramatic 3-3 draw at Newcastle on Wednesday saw their lead reduced to seven points. Late drama at St James' Park denied Liverpool an eighth consecutive win as Fabian Schar capitalized on a rare error by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in the 90th minute.
Mohamed Salah, in electric form, scored twice in the second half, taking his season tally to 15 goals. The Egyptian superstar converted two Trent Alexander-Arnold assists, overturning Newcastle’s 2-1 advantage after Curtis Jones had earlier equalized Alexander Isak's opener. Anthony Gordon briefly restored Newcastle’s lead before Salah’s strikes.
