Mohamed Salah set a new Premier League record with a brilliant performance, but Liverpool were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw by Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
Salah scored twice and provided an assist, marking the 37th Premier League match in which he has both scored and assisted—a new record for the league. This achievement further cements his status as one of the competition’s all-time greats.
The thrilling encounter saw Newcastle take an early lead through Alexander Isak, putting Liverpool under pressure. However, Salah spearheaded Liverpool’s fightback, contributing directly to all three of their goals in a scintillating display.
Despite Salah’s efforts, Liverpool’s defensive lapses proved costly. In a frantic second half, both teams traded blows, with Newcastle eventually securing a late equaliser in the 90th minute through Fabian Schar.
The result ended Liverpool’s seven-match winning streak across all competitions, leaving them on 35 points after 14 matches. While Salah’s performance was the highlight of the game, the Reds face questions about their defensive fragility.
For Newcastle, the draw extends their winless run to three matches, leaving them 10th in the Premier League table.
