Birmingham game in pictures
Newcastle drew 0-0 at Birmingham on Saturday - and on a weekend when Brighton and Huddersfield both lost, it could prove to a vital point for Rafa Benítez's men.
It could easily have been all three, as Matt Ritchie had a goal disallowed in the first half; replays suggest that the Scotland international was in fact onside.
Daryl Murphy also had a header superbly saved by keeper Tomasz Kuszczak, who was named as the home side's man of the match.
But United stay top and club photographer Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery from St. Andrew's.
