Newcastle United 2-2 Wigan Athletic

3 mins - A superb goal from Wigan's Ryan Taylor, who brilliantly strikes the ball over Shay Given and into the net from 20 yards. An instinctive shot with the outside of his boot that swerves and dips.

80 mins - Michael Owen equalises for Newcasle.

87 mins - Obafemi Martins then smashes in a second to send St James' Park wild.

89 mins - Titus Bramble ruins the party (like he did so many timnes playing for Newcastle) by heading home in the last minute.

Newcastle interim manager Joe Kinnear:
"It was highs and lows, wasn't it? That's the worst we have started since I have been here, in the first half.

"We went for broke with three strikers up and created numerous chances. We should have put the game to bed, really.

"We have got to sit down and talk to him about a new contract [with Michael Owen], if I am allowed to do that."

Wigan boss Steve Bruce:
"I think we comfortably would have gone on to win the game with 11 - we should have won the game with 10, if Henri Camara had taken his chance.

"Titus has taken some stick over the years, particularly playing for this club.

"He was spot-on, but he was like that against Liverpool, he was like that against Portsmouth. He has been terrific of late."
