Eddie Howe’s men started brightly in the first half and found themselves ahead after Alexander Isak lashed in a fantastic effort from outside the box. But the lead didn’t last long after the break, with Mo Salah providing a lovely assist for Curtis Jones to level it.
It was Newcastle who re-took the lead after Isak combined with Anthony Gordon before the England winger squeezed a finish past Caoimhin Kelleher, but the introduction of Trent Alexander-Arnold changed the game as he set up Salah’s equaliser for 2-2.
The league leaders were in the ascendancy from there, and they looked like they had won it when Salah found the bottom corner with a shot on the turn, only for Kelleher to make a mistake to allow Fabian Schar to slide in and have the last say.

Liverpool will look to maintain their nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League table as Arne Slot’s side visit Newcastle United in what is another crunch week for the Reds.
After beating Real Madrid and Manchester City at home, Liverpool head on the road to face Newcastle and Everton, in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, in the space of four days.
And Liverpool’s title challenge will be strengthened if they remain on course - with Newcastle boasting a good home record against the big sides this season having beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham while drawing against Manchester City.
But it’s been a tough recent spell for Eddie Howe’s side, who were beaten by West Ham last week before conceding “absolutely devastating” late equaliser against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Newcastle, who fell into the bottom half of the table after drawing at Selhurst Park, have also not beaten Liverpool in the Premier League since 2015.
