Fabian Schar’s Late Equalizer Seals Thrilling Draw Between Newcastle and Liverpool

In a pulsating clash at St James’ Park, Newcastle secured a dramatic 3-3 draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool, thanks to Fabian Schar’s last-minute equalizer. The result ended Liverpool’s hopes of extending their lead at the top of the table to nine points.

Liverpool, riding high after their recent triumph over Manchester City, were caught off-guard by an aggressive Newcastle side. Jacob Murphy nearly opened the scoring early on, clipping the post with a sharp effort. Moments later, Alexander Isak delivered a spectacular long-range strike to put Newcastle ahead.

Anthony Gordon nearly doubled the lead after capitalizing on a defensive error by Joe Gomez, but his effort was thwarted by Liverpool’s goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Liverpool responded after the break, with Curtis Jones converting a precise first-time shot from Mohamed Salah’s cross to level the score. The parity was short-lived as Gordon struck again, cutting inside to beat a defender and slipping his shot past Kelleher, sending the home crowd into raptures.

Salah seemed to seal the win for Liverpool with two late goals—a deft scoop to equalize and a composed finish to put the Reds ahead. Yet, Newcastle refused to back down. Schar’s decisive volley from a late free-kick, after Kelleher misjudged the ball, ensured the Magpies left with a deserved point.
