Newcastle score the last minute leveler

Newcastle United secure a last-minute draw against Liverpool in a thrilling match. Mohamed Salah scored for Liverpool whereas Joe Willock scored the leveler for Newcastle United in the last kick of the match.

For most part of the game, Liverpool dominated and could have easily won the game by a margin of 3 or more goals. But they couldn’t be clinical enough. Newcastle missed few opportunities as well but Liverpool looked more threatening. As Mané picked out Diogo Jota unmarked inside the penalty box, he fired a tame shot at the Newcastle goalkeeper.
