Newcastle score in 95th minute to deny Liverpool key win in battle for top four

Joe Willock has scored four goals in 10 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, having netted just once in 40 league games for Arsenal

Newcastle substitute Joe Willock scored a dramatic but deserved 95th-minute equaliser to deny Liverpool a much-needed win in their pursuit of Champions League football.

Mohamed Salah's early goal appeared to have put the champions on track for a vital three points as they chase a top-four finish at the end of a disappointing season.

But despite dominating early on, Jurgen Klopp's side were unable to finish the game off and were given a lifeline they failed to take when Callum Wilson's last-minute equaliser was ruled out for handball.

Steve Bruce's much-improved visitors kept up the late pressure and were rewarded when Willock fired in for the third match in a row with the last kick of the game to strengthen their own position at the bottom of the table.

Reds fans must now look on as West Ham and Chelsea - both a point ahead of their sixth-placed side - meet later on Saturday.
