Landlord's anger as car is keyed by Spurs fans

Peter Drummond and the scratch left on his vehicle after the match

A GROUP of singing Spurs supporters damaged cars belonging to Toon fans after their team's dramatic draw at St James' Park.

Newcastle United season ticket holder Peter Drummond said he was sitting in his brand new leased Volvo when it - and the car in front of him - were deliberately scratched moments after the chanting away supporters walked by.

The pub landlord told The Journal he had been parked on Diana Street in Newcastle city centre and encountered the travelling Tottenham Hotspur supporters after leaving the ground.

After reporting the damage to Northumbria Police and Tottenham Hotspur FC, Peter has spoken of his anger.

The 55-year-old said: "It's just pathetic. It's just senseless destruction. It's just very frustrating.
