A Jon Walters equaliser deep into stoppage-time earned Ipswich a point against champions Newcastle.
Andy Carroll headed the home side in front before Connor Wickham beat two players and fired past Steve Harper.
Shola Ameobi's penalty after a foul on Nicky Butt looked to have won it for the Toon but Walters struck in the fourth minute of injury-time.
The result leaves Newcastle on 99 points with one game of the Championship season to go.
Newcastle manager Chris Hughton: "We are back where this club wanted to be.
"We know, of course, it will be a very tough season because we are in a very, very tough league.
"You have to look forward to it. As a manager, as a group of players, as a club, it's where we want to be and we have worked very hard for it, so you have to look forward to it."
Ipswich boss Roy Keane: "We have to look at whether Newcastle were in holiday mode - maybe some of them were - but I am disappointed with a draw, so if we had lost the game, I would have been properly upset.
"I thought we deserved it. We had the better of the chances and scored two good goals, but we gave a bad second goal away.
