Liverpool Tied at the Last Minute Despite a Salah Double
In the dying moments of the match, goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher made a costly error that allowed Fabian Schär to net the 3-3 equalizer for Newcastle. The mistake overshadowed an incredible performance by Mohamed Salah, who was pivotal in the second half, assisting the 1-1 equalizer and scoring both the 2-2 and the 2-3 for Liverpool. Despite a heroic comeback, the late error left the Reds with only a single point.
Salah, Liverpool's savior
Amid speculation about his future, Mohamed Salah continues to prove his worth for Liverpool. This season, he has been involved in 21 of the team’s 29 Premier League goals, scoring 13 and assisting 8 in just 14 matches. Against Newcastle, his brilliance kept Liverpool in contention for three points until a crucial mistake cost them dearly.
A point that feels like a loss
The draw leaves Liverpool with less breathing room at the top of the table. While they remain unbeaten since matchday four, recent slip-ups and the intense competition in the Premier League suggest the title race is far from over. Meanwhile, Newcastle showed they are a formidable opponent capable of challenging any top-tier team.
The 1-1 came in the 50th minute after a move initiated by Salah that Curtis Jones finished. Despite Anthony Gordon restoring Newcastle's lead for 2-1, Salah equalized and even rattled the crossbar before netting the 2-3. However, a mix-up involving Kelleher and Trent Alexander-Arnold led to Schär’s late goal, securing a dramatic 3-3 draw.
