A last gasp winner by Damien Duff gave Newcastle all 3 points at St James Park. Tottenham were second best in most departments, as Newcastle defence were again solid throughout the match. Newcastle's opener came from Nzogbia, who latched on to a long clearance from Shay Given, then fell, then picked himself up and guided the ball coolly past the oncoming Tottenahm goalkeeper. Tottenham then scored from what looked like an offside position to end the first half at 1-1. In the second half, Newcastle continued with their attacking style and had numerous chances to score, the most notable one falling to Michael Owen, who skyed his shot in to the crowd! Damien Duff came on as substitue with only 5 minutes left, and made his mark in the 90th. It was a fantastic one- two with Viduka in Tottenham's penalty area, which Duff put away with style. FANTASTIC! Newcastle are now 12th in the table and are only 5 points away from 6th position currently occupied by Hull with 27 points.
Final Score: Newcastle United 2 - 1 Tottenham
