Newcastle 2-2 Tottenham result - Cristian Romero double earns Spurs Premier League point with overhead kick equaliser after home side blow late lead

Cristian Romero played a captain's role as his dramatic second-half double earned Tottenham an unlikely point at Newcastle in a chaotic 2-2 draw in the Premier League.

Bruno Guimaraes emerged from the bench at the break at St. James' Park to plant the opener into the home net on 71 minutes, only for Romero to produce a fine diving header to level from a Mohammed Kudus cross on 78 minutes.

It looked like Eddie Howe's side would take all three points when Rodrigo Bentacur was deemed guilty of illegally blocking Dan Burn from a corner via VAR as Anthony Gordon sent Guglielmo Vicario the wrong way from the penalty spot on 86 minutes.

But the news of nine added minutes to the match seemed to visibly disrupt the home side.

And they paid the price for their hesitancy when Aaron Ramsdale failed to punch clear a corner as Romero managed to hook an overhead kick back into the traffic and beyond the diving goalkeeper five minutes beyond the 90.

It meant Thomas Frank's side avoided a fourth straight defeat despite having only two shots on target against a Newcastle side who were denied the chance of a third straight Premier League win.

Tottenham are 11th in the table before they host Brentford on Saturday with Newcastle 13th on the same points ahead of Burnley's visit on the same day.

"He gave us a lot of momentum," said Danso on Sky Sports.

"He always leads by example. He scored two very important goals, the second one was a very nice goal. He just showed again today what a world class defender he is.

"We're just going to keep pushing on. We just have to keep that mentality.

"It was a tough match, always difficult to come to St James' Park, and it's always tough away from home.

"We showed the mentality that we had been working on throughout the season."

They haven't looked like themselves since that board went up for nine added minutes, and Spurs have punished the hestitation. Looks like Tottenham have earned a draw here.

Chaos in the home box before Romero reacts quickest to the Aaron Ramsdale punched clearance to produce an overhead kick that somehow is hooked back over his head to nestle in the net. Wow! What a finish.

Off goes Lewis Miley for the home side, who are suddenly content to hold they have. On comes Fabian Schar.

Earn a corner in these closing moments. Porro with the ball into the box, but Hall is equal to the task in clearing. Burn also doing some covering work.

Richarlison with a blatant dive in the home area trying to buy a penalty. Lucky not to be booked. Nine minutes added to this match. That is NINE minutes.

Are they heading for a fourth straight defeat? Need a rapid response with time against them. Wilson Odobert and Archie Gray arrive as Pape Sarr and Mohammed Kudus depart the scene.

Gordon sends Vicario the wrong way from the spot, and the home fans are buzzing now. They lead 2-1 late on.

Bentancur penalised for the blocking off on offence on Burn at the corner. The referee Thomas Bramall agreed with the VAR. Pretty obvious really.

You wonder if they even seen it coming. Burn goes to ground under pressure in the visiting box from Rodrigo Bentancur. VAR getting involved now.

Behind for just eight minutes in this match as Romero throws himself at the Kudus cross to plant the header into the net. Diving header in front of Burn. And it is 1-1. Their first shot on target.

On come Richarlison, Xavi Simons and Mathys Tel as Lucas Bergvall, Brennan Johnson and Randal Kolo Muani are hooked.

Some more menacing attacking play by Gordon before Miley's finish is easy enough for the Spurs keeper to hold.

That was a stunning finish and a genuine piece of quality from the half-time substitute, who rightly embraces the delight of the home fans. What have Spurs got in their locker?

Bruno Guimaraes with a superb placed finish into the corner of the net after Woltemade came up with the lay-off from Gordon's surging run. Can't say it wasn't deserved.

Must be said, Spurs have largely defended their box well this evening with Nick Woltemade a bit too slow to come out.

Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga are given a big reception from the home supporters as they take over from Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes.
