    Huge cheers from the away end. Newcastle's revival under Rafa Benitez continues as they claim their first away point of 2016. What a comeback.

    We are into injury time. Newcastle looking for one final twist. However, Aleksandar Mitrovic gives away a free-kick to relieve the pressure.

    Two minutes to go. Liverpool pressing for a winner, but Newcastle digging in. Looks like there will be three minutes added.

    Think Liverpool are getting confused with Rafa there. 2-0 up at HT & letting Newcastle make an Istanbul style comeback.

    Andy Tullock, London

    Why didnt Coutinho start? He's been clinical and scored goals in the last few games, personally think hes a key player for Liverpool to get goals and win

    Liverpool are so inconsistent, we're inconsistent at being inconsistent. If that makes any sense.

    Big chance to win it. The ball breaks to Philippe Coutinho on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked by Vurnon Anita.

    Jonjo Shelvey's first act is to try and find Georginio Wijnaldum with a sweeping ball into the box but Simon Mignolet is out quickly to claim the ball.

    "The way Newcastle have come back has been brilliant. It's the exact same spirit and determination they showed against Manchester City. They could go on and win this game."

    Adam Lallana again looks to try and restore Liverpool's lead, but his run down the right byline results in a corner. Lucas, who came on along with Philippe Coutinho a few minutes ago, heads the corner towards goal from deep in the box but Newcastle are able to clear.

    Iain Lumsden: Liverpool back to normal. Inconsistent and can't hold onto a lead.

    "This time it's not Mignolet's fault. Colback gets good contact and it does hit Lovren's foot on its way in, wrong-footing the keeper.

    "This is exactly what they did against Manchester City. After what I'm seeing here I wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle went on to win the game - they've been transformed!"

    Do Newcastle dare win this? They send on Aleksandar Mitrovic for Papiss Cisse, whose goal at the start of this half prompted the United fightback.

    Oh, close! Adam Lallana fires from an angle inside the box but puts his effort just a yard past the far post.

    Well, well, well, who saw this coming at the break? Certainly not me. Liverpool were cruising. But Newcastle have shown a lot of fight. Just the kind of fight that gets a side out of a relegation fight.

    Jack Colback

    Would you believe it! It's 2-2! Jack Colback hasn't scored all season but he is in exactly the right place to latch on to Dejan Lovren's weak headed clearance from an Andros Townsend cross and fire a deflected shot in past Simon Mignolet. I said Newcastle needed something special to get back into this game. Well, they have found it.

    Liverpool have the ball in the net as Roberto Firmino follows up Joe Allen's saved close-range header from a James Milner cross, but the flag is up. Firmino wags his finger at the official. He is wrong to do so, though. He was off. Good call.
