Sean Longstaff put the Magpies in front at St. James' Park before Gabriel Osho's leveller was cancelled out by Longstaff's second of the afternoon in a frantic first half, which ended with Ross Barkley hauling the Hatters back onto level terms.

But after the break the contest became even more breathless, with Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo giving Rob Edwards' side a 4-2 lead before goals from Kieran Trippier and Harvey Barnes rescued a point for Eddie Howe's men.

It was an incredible finale to what was a memorable encounter - and Serena Taylor, assisted by Michelle Mercer, was there to capture the best of the action for this nufc.co.uk gallery.
