[Folami David]

Liverpool twice came from behind to force a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United that took them top of the Premier League table on Saturday.
.
Liverpool moved on to 17 points from eight matches and will stay top at least until Arsenal play Norwich City at the Emirates later on Saturday.
.
Newcastle had to play the whole of the second half at St James' Park with 10 men after the 42nd-minute sending-off of defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
.
They had gone ahead in the 23rd minute when Yohan Cabye scored with an unstoppable, swerving, 25- metre shot that gave Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet no chance.
.
The last time this fixture ended goalless was in 1974 and the scoring continued when Steven Gerrard pulled Liverpool level from the penalty spot after France international Yanga-Mbiwa had been sent off in the 40th minute for hauling down Luis Suarez.
.
The Uruguayan striker was in with a scoring chance when the Frenchman grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to the ground, earning an immediate red card from referee Andre Marriner.
