Newcastle United old boy Titus Bramble returned to Tyneside to deny his former club a much-needed victory.
The defender headed home an 89th-minute equaliser just when it looked as though substitute Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins had snatched a win from the jaws of defeat.
Trailing to Ryan Taylor's third-minute strike despite Emmerson Boyce's 54th-minute dismissal, the Magpies belatedly launched a fightback - which saw the two strikers score inside seven minutes at the end of the match.
But with seconds of normal time remaining, Bramble headed a Daniel de Ridder corner past Damien Duff on the line to snatch a point.
