Newcastle United 3 - 3 Liverpool: Schar Denies the Reds Fifth Straight Win

Liverpool's five-game winning streak ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, thanks to a dramatic late equalizer from Fabian Schar.

Liverpool looked set for a fifth consecutive league victory as Mohamed Salah's second-half brace turned the tide of a thrilling encounter. Before Salah's double, Newcastle's in-form duo, Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, had traded goals with Liverpool's Curtis Jones. However, in the dying moments of the match, Fabian Schar capitalized on Caoimhin Kelleher's error to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw for the Magpies.



Newcastle remain in 10th place, while Liverpool's lead atop the EPL table is now seven points. Chelsea and Arsenal have closed the gap after their victories over Southampton and Manchester United, respectively.
