The Magpies had enjoyed a series of promising opportunities throughout the game before Bruno Guimaraes sent them ahead in the 71st minute.

Romero replied seven minutes later with an excellent diving header from Mohammed Kudus’ cross, before Anthony Gordon restored Newcastle's lead from the penalty spot.

The Spurs skipper had the final say ina dramatic finale, scoring an overhead kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time which bounced through the box and trickled into the bottom corner.

Speaking about Romero's display, Frank said: “I think that was the perfect bicycle kick, hit with the shin, aiming for the bottom corner.
