Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Newcastle United 2 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur : Duff secures vital win for Toon
Damien Duff came off the bench to fire Newcastle to a 2-1 win over Tottenham in yet another dramatic finish at St James' Park.
The Republic of Ireland midfielder snatched victory in the 90th minute after combining brilliantly with fellow substitute Mark Viduka just as it looked as if his side would have to settle for a third successive home draw.
It was hard luck on Spurs, who had played their part in a tight contest and had looked the more likely winners until Duff's late intervention.
Luka Modric, a Newcastle target before he opted to move to White Hart Lane, looked to have denied the Magpies with a 28th-minute equaliser with the home side appealing in vain for an offside flag.
That cancelled out Charles N'Zogbia's 11th-minute opener after he had run on to Shay Given's towering clearance and got the better of covering defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto to score.
