Premier League: Newcastle's Joe Willock Force Draw Against Tottenham

 

Newcastle United narrowly escaped defeat to Tottenham with a late leveler from Joe Willock that canceled out the London-based side's lead and settle the scores at 2-2 draw. 

Meanwhile, Spurs came from behind to take the lead from their hosts with Harry Kane scoring twice with a space of four minutes. Sean Longstaff had finished off a through pass from Joelinton to give Newcastle the lead in the 21st minutes. 

Kane could have got a hattrick late in the game but his efforts went in flight to the base of the net before the hosts seized a dramatic moment when Joe reacted swiftly to a loose ball from poorly saved Miguel Almiron's header and got the equalizer.

The draw kept Newcastle just above the relegation zone by just two points while Tottenham are yet in the race to make the top four of the table. Also, the Spurs have failed to win in six league games despite leading at halftime.
