A last-gasp winner from substitute Damien Duff ensured Newcastle made it six matches unbeaten with a 2-1 win against Tottenham on Sunday.
Charles N'Zogbia opened the scoring for Newcastle after 12 minutes latching onto Shay Given's up-field ball before outwitting Benoit Assou-Ekotto to pass the ball past Heurelho Gomes.
Newcastle's lead brought the visitors to life and it was another unlikely assist, this time from defender Michael Dawson, which led to Spurs' equaliser in the 28th minute.
Played onside by Jose Enrique, Luka Modric picked up Dawson's long ball down the centre and calmly slotted the ball underneath a flailing Given.
Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear replaced Enrique with Duff after 87 minutes and just three minutes later he played a neat one-two with Mark Viduka before perfectly placing the ball past Gomes.
The Magpies' win moves them up to 12th while Tottenham remain just one point above the relegation zone as Harry Redknapp suffered his third defeat since taking charge.
