Newcastle was for a long time badly out against little Luton, who most experts tipped last in the Premier League before the season.
Newcastle took the lead in the match twice again through Sean Longstaff, but let the visitors back in and after Luton scored two goals in three minutes in the second half it was suddenly 2-4 on the scoreboard.
The “Magpies” were also missing the injured Alexander Isak, who is believed to be out for the coming weeks with an injury.
But then the home side got up, reducing through Kieran Trippier before Harvey Barnes rolled in the equalizer a few minutes later.
Direct goal for the Englishman, who had not played since September 24 due to a foot injury.
4-4 means that Newcastle are ninth in the PL table, two points up on ninth Manchester United who have played one game less.
Luton are in sixteenth place, one point down on the line.
– To be completely honest, I don’t know how to feel after this. It feels like – and this is said with all due respect to Luton – we should win at home. We lead twice and should win. But it can be an important point in the end, says Sean Longstaff to the BBC after the match.
– It was good that we could come back and I am very happy for Harvey. He has been struggling so it was important for him to come in and score a goal.
