Romero's Brace Rescues Spurs in Newcastle Thriller
3 Dec
Summary
- Cristian Romero scored two late goals to secure a draw for Tottenham.
- Bruno Guimaraes scored for Newcastle after coming on as a substitute.
- Newcastle's winless streak without Guimaraes starting continues.
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero secured a vital 2-2 draw against Newcastle with two late goals, preventing a second consecutive defeat for Spurs. His first goal came from a near-post header, and he later netted a brilliant overhead kick in added time, sparking passionate celebrations with the travelling fans.
Newcastle had taken the lead twice, first through a strike from substitute Bruno Guimaraes in the 71st minute, and then from an Anthony Gordon penalty in the 85th minute. This result continued Newcastle's peculiar trend of not winning Premier League matches when Guimaraes is absent from the starting lineup.
Earlier in the match, Guglielmo Vicario made several key saves for Tottenham, earning the support of the travelling fans after a difficult performance in their previous game. The draw at St. James' Park provided a moment of respite for Spurs amidst a challenging period.
