SHANE LONG's late header saw both teams share the spoils in an entertaining draw at St James' Park.
Shane Long headed home to earn Saints a point
Southampton opened the scoring thanks to a Graziano Pelle header, courtesy of a ball whipped in from new boy Cedric Soares.
But the Saint's lead was short lived with two quick-fire goals either side of half time putting the Toon on top.
Papiss Cisse nabbed one on 42 minutes to take things level into the break before Georginio Wijnaldum nodded home to score on debut three minutes after the restart.
But Southampton weren't fished yet, with Shane Long rising highest in the box to tie things up 2-2 on 79 minutes.
