LONDON, Nov 4: Luis Suarez produced a moment of second-half magic to earn dominant Liverpool a 1-1 draw against Newcastle in the English Premier League on Sunday.

The Uruguay international brought down a 50-yard pass from Jose Enrique on his upper chest and rounded goalkeeper Tim Krul to score Liverpool’s equaliser at Anfield in the 67th minute, his seventh league goal of the season.

A point was the least the hosts deserved after over-running Newcastle for long periods, although they fell behind to Yohan Cabaye’s excellent volley in the 43rd.

Fabricio Coloccini was given a straight red card for a lunge on Suarez with six minutes left but Newcastle held on, leaving Liverpool languishing in the bottom half of the standings.Earlier on Sunday, Queens Park Rangers and Reading remain winless in the Premier League after drawing 1-1, leaving both teams rooted in the bottom three.

Former QPR defender Kaspars Gorkss put Reading ahead after 16 minutes when he scored after the ball rebounded back from the bar before Djibril Cisse equalised with a well-taken goal, controlling and firing home from close range after 66 minutes.

On Saturday, Chelsea’s 10-week stay at the Premier League summit came to an end after the European champions conceded a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Swansea City to fall a point behind Manchester United.

Victor Moses put Chelsea ahead just past the hour in south Wales but Pablo Hernandez grabbed a point in the 88th minute.

United have 24 points from 10 games while Premier League title holders Manchester City missed the chance to move level on points at the top after drawing 0-0 at West Ham United to stay two points adrift of their local rivals in third.

Everton conceded in the last minute in a 2-2 draw at Fulham but climbed a place to fourth with 17 points, above Tottenham Hotspur, who were jeered off after surprisingly losing 1-0 at home to Wigan Athletic.

Chelsea were just a few minutes away from a noteworthy victory at the end of a seven-day period that saw them lose to United in the league and beat them 5-4 in the League Cup.

Nigeria winger Moses headed Chelsea in front after an hour with a flick-on after Gary Cahill’s header from an Eden Hazard corner but as heavy rain began to fall at the Liberty Stadium the visitors got pushed back and Hernandez beat Petr Cech to deny Roberto di Matteo’s team victory.

“Mentally and physically it has been a demanding week,” Di Matteo told Sky Sports. “The players responded and we nearly won the game. We defended well and they didn’t create many chances although it was a quality goal they scored.”City failed to score in a match for the first time since December last year and could even have lost the match had Kevin Nolan’s fourth-minute volley not been ruled out for a dubious offside decision.

Roberto Mancini’s side now face a must-win game against Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday but aren’t the same force as last season.

“We continue to miss a lot of chances in every game and this is no good,” Mancini, who started with three strikers in Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko, told ESPN.

Spurs dropped out of the Champions League positions after Ben Watson scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for the visitors at White Hart Lane in the 56th minute, leading to the home supporters venting their anger toward the team and manager Andre Villas-Boas.Steve Sidwell scored Fulham’s last-gasp equaliser against Everton, pegging the visitors back after a double from Marouane Fellaini had helped them recover from conceding an early own goal by goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Elsewhere, Gabriel Agbonlahor scored for the first time in 29 league games as Aston Villa pulled clear of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win against Sunderland and Bradley Johnson grabbed Norwich’s winner in their 1-0 victory against Stoke at Carrow Road.
