"Cristian Romero's double, which included an overhead kick in the 95th minute, saw Tottenham salvage a dramatic 2-2 draw with Newcastle United at St James' Park. Spurs had to fight back from a goal down on two occasions to stop the rot following back-to-back Premier League defeats, with their captain - who returned from a one-match ban for accruing five yellow cards - leading the way."
"It looked set to be another demoralising outing for Thomas Frank's Spurs, who reached half-time without attempting a single shot on target for the fourth consecutive Premier League game, also doing so versus Fulham, Arsenal and Chelsea. But Romero showed his forwards how to finish as Spurs became the first team to score two equalising goals in the final 15 minutes of a Premier League game since February 2018."
Cristian Romero scored twice, including an overhead kick in stoppage time, to earn Tottenham a 2-2 draw at St James' Park. Newcastle dominated the first half, with Joelinton striking the post, and took the lead when Anthony Gordon's run led to Nick Woltemade's lay-off for Bruno Guimaraes to curl home in the 71st minute. Tottenham levelled in the 78th minute via Romero's header from Mohammed Kudus' cross. A VAR review later awarded Newcastle a penalty after a Rodrigo Bentancur shirt pull, which Gordon converted. A late corner produced Romero's acrobatic second after Aaron Ramsdale's half-clear. Spurs reached half-time without a shot on target for a fourth consecutive Premier League game, and Romero registered his first multi-goal match in one of Europe's top five leagues on his 199th appearance.
