"I think that was the perfect bicycle kick, hit with the shin, aiming for the bottom corner. Praising Cuti, I think he deserves that. A top performance defending. On the ball: coolness, calmness, duels, then get up there and score two goals. I think the bicycle kick will most likely get a little more praise but I think the header is more exceptional, the way he does that is better than many strikers."
"I really liked the character and mentality in the team and what this showed after three tough games. To go here to the fourth game in 10 days, the third away game at a very difficult place - go behind two times and come back shows everything about the willingness and mentality in the team."
Cristian Romero scored a brace to secure a 2-2 draw for Tottenham against Newcastle, with a diving header and a stoppage-time overhead kick. Bruno Guimarães put Newcastle ahead in the 71st minute and Anthony Gordon restored their lead from the penalty spot after a corner incident. Romero's header arrived seven minutes after Guimarães' goal, and the overhead kick in the fifth minute of stoppage-time trickled into the bottom corner. Tottenham remain winless in five Premier League matches and sit 11th. The team recovered twice during a demanding schedule of four games in ten days, demonstrating notable willingness and mentality. The bicycle kick was described as perfect while the header drew praise as exceptionally striker-like.
