In a gripping finale, Cristian Romero scored a sensational overhead kick in stoppage time to secure a 2-2 draw for Tottenham Hotspur against Newcastle, alleviating pressure on manager Thomas Frank following a series of defeats.
Newcastle held majority possession throughout the match and carved out several clear chances, but it was Romero's brilliance that kept Spurs in contention. Remarkably, he netted both goals for Tottenham, who managed only two shots on target.
The Argentine equalized in the 78th minute with a diving header from a cross by Mohammed Kudus, leveling the score after Bruno Guimaraes’ opener for Newcastle. However, just eight minutes later, Newcastle reclaimed the lead via a penalty scored by Anthony Gordon.
As it appeared Newcastle would clinch the victory, Romero salvaged a point for Spurs in the dying moments. His scuffed overhead kick, an attempt during a corner, somehow navigated through a crowd of defenders to find the back of the net.
This draw positions Spurs at 11th in the Premier League, narrowly ahead of Newcastle. Frank commended his team's spirit, noting their “fantastic mentality and character” after a challenging week filled with four matches in ten days.
Despite their dominance, Newcastle was left dejected by key missed opportunities, including Joelinton’s shot that struck the post. Manager Eddie Howe expressed his frustration over the late slip.
Romero’s timely intervention ensured Spurs avoided a third straight loss, while Newcastle pondered the missed chances that could have handed them all three points.
