Newcastle hit back from 4-2 down to claim a 4-4 draw against relegation-threatened Luton in a breathless Premier League clash on Saturday.

Kieran Trippier and substitute Harvey Barnes – making his first appearance since September – hit the crucial goals after the Hatters had taken control early in the second half with a twice-taken Carlton Morris penalty and Elijah Adebayo effort.

The score had been 2-2 at the break, with Luton twice cancelling out goals from Newcastle's Sean Longstaff thanks to replies from Gabriel Osho and Ross Barkley.

The point was enough to lift Luton above Everton and Nottingham Forest and into 16th place.

They had begun the game in the relegation zone after Everton briefly moved out of the bottom three by snatching a last-gasp 2-2 draw against Tottenham earlier in the day.

On-loan Chiedozie Ogbene caught the eye for Luton

New signing David Fofana scored twice as fellow strugglers Burnley also rallied to claim a 2-2 draw against Fulham.

Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Muniz scored in the space of four first-half minutes as the Cottagers took early control at Turf Moor, but the Clarets proved a different proposition in the second half.

Fofana, on loan from Chelsea, came off the bench to give the home side hope 19 minutes from time and then completed the fightback with 90 on the clock.

Crystal Palace endured a miserable afternoon as they slumped to a 4-1 loss at rivals Brighton.

Lewis Dunk opened the scoring for the Seagulls after just three minutes before Jack Hinshelwood and Facundo Buonanotte struck in quick succession to make it 3-0 at half-time.

Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back for Palace, but Joao Pedro wrapped up victory for Roberto De Zerbi’s side six minutes from time.
