Alan Shearer said Newcastle fully merited their their draw at Anfield as the "bright, alert" Magpies made their point.
The United legend felt it was a "good month" for Steve Bruce's men, who made plenty of chances against a wasteful Liverpool side.
"They deserved it. They got in some really good positions going forward but it was just their final pass or effort at goal that let them down at times," Shearer said on Match of the Day.
"They were causing problems, that man Saint-Maximin was excellent again - he's given so much to Newcastle since he returned.
"They were very good second half, they were bright, they were alert.
"It was the least they deserved - it was a good performance and it's been a good month for them."
Shearer was scathing about the Callum Wilson goal that was ruled out.
"It's a crazy law. It hits his hand, yes but there's no intention at all. It should have been a penalty with the push from Alexander-Arnold. What's he meant to do?" he said.
