New £14.5m signing Georginio Wijnaldum then scored a powerful header on his Premier League debut to give Newcastle the lead early in the second half.
But Long struck 10 minutes from time, heading in a Dusan Tadic cross.
Southampton forward Sadio Mane had two chances to win the match in injury time. First he saw an effort blocked by Jack Colback, before another shot drifted inches wide of the post.
Saints manager Ronald Koeman watched the match from home as he recovered from an operation on his Achilles tendon, but brother and assistant manager Erwin gave a first Premier League start in 491 days to striker Jay Rodriguez.
