Newcastle 1 - Middlesbrough 1
Michael Owen rises highest to net Newcastle's first goal under Kevin Keegan.
Michael Owen's return to goalscoring form could not secure Kevin Keegan his first win as Middlesbrough fought back to earn a 1-1 draw.
German international defender Robert Huth headed home an 87th-minute Julio Arca cross to cancel out Owen's 60th-minute strike and extend the Magpies' winless Barclays Premier League run to eight games.
But it might have been even worse with the Teessiders having an injury-time effort from Dong-Gook Lee ruled out for offside.
Owen had served England boss Fabio Capello with a timely reminder of his predatory instincts when he glanced home a free-kick on the hour to end his side's 455-minute wait for a league goal - his first since October 7.
