Thomas Frank fumes at Newcastle penalty after Tottenham battle back to earn draw
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank gives blunt verdict on Newcastle penalty decision
- Tottenham and Newcastle played out a 2-2 draw at St James' Park on Tuesday, with Cristian Romero scoring a dramatic overhead kick equaliser in added time for Spurs.
- Newcastle initially took the lead through Bruno Guimaraes, which was cancelled out by Romero's first goal, a diving header.
- Anthony Gordon restored Newcastle's lead from the penalty spot after VAR intervened to award a penalty for a foul on Dan Burn by Rodrigo Bentancur.
- Tottenham manager Thomas Frank criticised the VAR decision, stating it was "never a penalty", while Newcastle manager Eddie Howe defended the call.
- The draw means Tottenham are now winless in their last five Premier League matches, though Frank praised his side's character and mentality.
