Magpies shock Spurs to win at White Hart Lane

Tottenham 2 Newcastle 3

Newcastle midfielder Nicky Butt was involved in an ugly half-time bust-up at White Hart Lane – then responded by firing in the winner against Tottenham.

The former England midfielder was raging at the interval after he appeared to be slapped by Pascal Chimbonda, but he then helped his side complete a fine comeback in a thrilling Premiership clash.

Paul Huntington had cancelled out Jermain Defoe’s opener before Dimitar Berbatov restored the home side’s lead – only for Obafemi Martins to stun Spurs with a spectacular strike. He then set up Butt for the winner.
