Newcastle earned a brave draw after referee Rob Styles' early penalty decision had enraged St James' Park.
Home fans were livid after Styles sent off Habib Beye in the 13th minute when Beye appeared to clear from Robinho.
The Brazilian easily converted the resulting penalty but City mistakes let Shola Ameobi equalise before half time.
The Magpies led through Richard Dunne's spectacular own goal after 62 minutes, but Stephen Ireland stroked in a classy equaliser with five minutes remaining.
Having made their worst start to a Premier League season in nine years, and with owner Mike Ashley still looking for a buyer for the club, second-from-bottom Newcastle were desperate for a win.
