Newcastle deny Spurs return to top four in 2-2 draw

The result leaves Spurs in fifth place with 49 points, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Tottenham Hotspur missed an opportunity to move provisionally up to fourth in the Premier League standings after Newcastle United held the north London side to a 2-2 draw at St James' Park on Sunday. Newcastle took the lead just before the half-hour mark when sustained pressure high up the pitch allowed them to win the ball back and Sean Longstaff found Joelinton in space at the far post for the Brazilian to fire home. However, the home side's lead lasted barely 90 seconds when Spurs hit back as Harry Kane capitalised on a ricochet from Giovani Lo Celso's pass and tapped into an empty net.More Related News
