"Tottenham twice came from behind thanks to a Cristian Romero brace, with the Spurs skipper's second goal snatching a last-gasp point courtesy of an acrobatic effort. However, that came after Newcastle regained the lead via a controversial Anthony Gordon penalty, following a VAR review that deemed Rodrigo Bentancur to have tugged Dan Burn's shirt in the box. It was a decision that left Frank far from happy, though he praised his side's determination to earn a point."
""It's an absolute mistake by VAR," he said. "It's never a penalty. "We want the ref [to make] calls on the pitch; to support that, it can only be a clear and obvious mistake. In my opinion, there are 10 of those a game. "It says a lot about the mentality of the team. It's been a tough week, coming here after four games in 10 days against a good Newcastle team."
Tottenham fought back twice to secure a 2-2 draw at St James' Park, with Cristian Romero scoring a late acrobatic equaliser after an earlier goal. Newcastle regained the lead via an Anthony Gordon penalty awarded after a VAR review that judged Rodrigo Bentancur to have tugged Dan Burn's shirt. Thomas Frank called the VAR decision an "absolute mistake" and said it was never a penalty while praising his team's mentality and resilience. Tottenham halted a run of three straight defeats. Kevin Danso praised Romero as "world-class"; Romero scored his first Premier League goals since August 2024 and his first away goal since September 2023.
