West Ham produced a gritty performance to secure a rare away point and frustrate in-form Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Sean Longstaff followed up his two goals against Southampton on Tuesday, which booked the Magpies a place in the Carabao Cup final, by setting up Callum Wilson to fire the hosts ahead with a clinical finish.
Fabian Schar almost made it 2-0 following a free-kick before Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta equalised from inside the six-yard box - the first Premier League goal Newcastle have conceded since 6 November.
Eddie Howe's side were far from their fluent best and West Ham dug deep even after the 69th-minute introduction of new signing Anthony Gordon as a substitute.
On a frustrating day for the Magpies, Joelinton was booked for a clear dive inside the West Ham box by referee Peter Bankes, while Allan Saint-Maximin had a goal-bound attempt blocked on his first Premier League start since 28 August.
Newcastle, who started the weekend in third spot in the Premier League, are now fourth on 40 points. West Ham remain 16th.
West Ham boss David Moyes later said: "We deserve some credit because we've not been playing so well. I thought we played very well today.
"[The opening goal] is really disappointing because we actually played very well in the first half. That first minute was more than expected, so we've only got ourselves to blame. We got back in it [after the disallowed goal] then gave them a goal 20-30 seconds later.
"We responded absolutely fantastically. We played brilliantly well in the first half. We passed the ball well, we showed good control and had good opportunities ourselves.
"They're a big, big side. They can put the ball on top of you when they don't go round you. Nayef had a brilliant tackle. Part of your job is to defend well and we did defend well today.
"It keeps a little bit of a run going for us. A draw at Newcastle isn't the worst result. We'd have liked to win but we're up against a team who are in good form at the moment.
"I think our performance merited something from the game. If we play like that next week [against Chelsea] we'll give ourselves a chance."
On Lucas Paqueta, he added: "We're really pleased because we got him to get some goals. I think he showed some composure when the ball came to him at the back post. Hopefully he'll come up with a few more goals."
