Jonjo Shelvey’s late equaliser came as a welcome surprise for Steve Bruce’s Magpies, who had fallen behind to a Kevin De Bruyne belter.
Earlier Jetro Willems scored his second of the season to cancel out Raheem Sterling's opener. Here’s how our NUFC writer Liam Kennedy rated individual's performances.
9. Allan Saint-Maximin - 7
When he's hot, he's hot but when he's cold... Another game with flashes of brilliance and moments of madness with the ball. | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
10. Miguel Almiron - 8

11. Joelinton - 5
Looks a shadow of the player from the summer and start of season. Lacking confidence but also lacking basic striker instinct. Gets little service but does himself no favours with a lack of movement and running. | Getty Images Photo: Stu Forster
12. Dwight Gayle - 7
(for Joelinton 69) Instantly injected something into the game. | Getty Images Photo: Stu Forster
