**Second half**
Liverpool took the chance to reset at the interval and came out with an urgency and intent that forced an equaliser five minutes after the restart.
Mac Allister’s pass from deep located Salah, who deftly delivered the ball into the path of Jones and the midfielder marked his 150th appearance for the club with a fine finish.
But, after Nunez had gone agonisingly close to sliding in from Cody Gakpo’s header back across goal, Newcastle retook the lead as Gordon cut inside from the left and beat Kelleher.
Slot responded by freshening his team up with a triple substitution, with Alexander-Arnold, Szoboszlai and Diaz the players introduced.
Alexander-Arnold’s impact was immediate, the No.66 teeing up Salah to haul the Reds level again by rolling the ball coolly beyond Pope.
The Egyptian then went into overdrive in search of the winner. First, he wriggled away from Lewis Hall and smashed the underside of the crossbar before, moments, later, he was again found by Alexander-Arnold in the area. This time, Salah spun and dispatched a low finish with his left foot.
But there was to be yet more drama as Schar took advantage of Kelleher’s misjudgement of a set-piece delivery to slide in a late equaliser at the back post.
