It’s been a brilliant 24 hours for Newcastle United in the race for a top four finish.
After we were secured a 93rd minute win at Nottingham Forest last night, we’ve seen Spurs drop points in dramatic fashion away to bottom of the table Southampton this afternoon.
Tottenham went 3-1 thanks to second half goals from Harry Kane and Ivan Perisic, but a Theo Walcott tap in and James Ward-Prowse penalty in the 93rd minute saw the game end 3-3.
