NEWCASTLE, England, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero scored with a diving header and an overhead kick to snatch a 2-2 draw for his side at Newcastle United in an entertaining Premier League clash on Tuesday, with the equaliser coming deep in stoppage time.
Newcastle dominated the game but it took until the 71st minute for them to score through substitute Bruno Guimaraes before Romero levelled with Spurs' first effort on target, stealing in front of Dan Burn to power his header home.
The visitors' joy was short-lived as Rodrigo Bentancur conceded a penalty that Anthony Gordon converted in the 86th before defender Romero went up for a late corner and scored with a bicycle kick that bounced through the defence into the net.
The point leaves Tottenham 11th in the table on 19 points, with Newcastle two places behind on goal difference.
