MANCHESTER, England — Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League was cut to seven points after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Wednesday.
Chelsea moved up to second by thrashing last-place Southampton 5-1, while Manchester City ended its seven-game winless run with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Liverpool's result will give hope to its title rivals after Fabian Schar's 90th-minute equalizer at St James' Park.
Arne Slot's team had twice come back from a goal down to take the lead in the 83rd through Mohamed Salah's second goal of the match. But it was denied an eighth-straight win when Newcastle produced a fightback of its own.
