Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 2–2 draw by Newcastle United yesterday at St James' Park — in a match that swung wildly in the final minutes.
Newcastle took the lead in the 71st minute through Bruno Guimarães, before Spurs skipper Cristian Romero headed home an equaliser seven minutes later. However, just before full-time, a penalty converted by Anthony Gordon restored Newcastle’s advantage.
In dramatic fashion, Tottenham refused to go down without a fight — Romero struck again deep into stoppage time with a spectacular overhead kick from a corner, snatching a point for Spurs.
Post-match, Spurs’ manager Thomas Frank lauded his team’s resilience and character for twice coming from behind to earn the draw. Meanwhile, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe expressed frustration that his side once again conceded late and dropped points from a winning position.
Overall, the result marked a dramatic evening of Premier League action — a match where momentum swung back and forth, and where a last-gasp effort underlined both Tottenham’s fighting spirit and Newcastle’s inability to close out a game they had dominated.
