Newcastle boss Steve Bruce was happy with his team's ability to come back twice from a losing position, after recording a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham.
The Hammers went a goal up after just four minutes when Jarrod Bowen's cross was misread by Jamaal Lascelles, which left Michail Antonio free at the back-post to notch the away side in front.
Newcastle pulled level shortly after when Emil Krafth's inch-perfect cross was met gracefully by the Magpies' top scorer Miguel Almiron to tie the game.
The teams were level going into half-time, but Tomas Soucek put West Ham 2-1 up directly from Declan Rice's header which rattled the crossbar.
Newcastle equalised instantly through Jonjo Shelvey, who met Dwight Gayle's through ball and finished cleanly into the bottom-right corner.
The Magpies boss said: "I was happy with the result in the end after going behind twice, not many teams have done that since the lockdown.
"We're disappointed with the start but the response from the team was good," said Bruce.

Injury headache
It was revealed that both Sean Longstaff and Isaac Hayden's seasons could both be coming to a premature end, as Bruce said: "Our two, arguably, fittest players in Sean Longstaff and Isaac Hayden have both got hamstring injuries.
"They're not serious but it's two or three weeks which probably rules them out.
"Five games in 15 days in the Premier League is a tough ask.
"We'll see how they all are in the next 24-48 hours."
