Newcastle substitute Damien Duff scored a late winner against Tottenham to lift Joe Kinnear’s side into mid-table.

1-0 C.N’Zogbia 11′

1-1 L.Modric 28′

2-1 D.Duff 90′

The Republic of Ireland international played a fabulous one-two with Mark Viduka then kept his composure to slot the ball past Heurelho Gomes.

Charles N’Zogbia gave Newcastle the lead when he collected a long pass from Shay Given and fired in.

Luka Modric equalised when he ran on to a Michael Dawson ball and sent his low effort past Given.

Newcastle’s second successive win means they are now unbeaten in six and four points clear of a relegation zone they have been flirting with since the start of the season.
