Robbie Keane, former Spurs forward, struck an equalizer for allowing Liverpool to come from behind against Arsenal and continued to hold the top position in the Barclays Premier League.
This 1-1 draw against the Reds meant that Gunners stayed behind Aston Villa in the league and their desire of winning the league slipped further.
Arsene Wenger’s side got reduced to 10-man, as Emmanuel Adebayor was shown a red card for a reckless challenge on Arbeloa.
The only bright spot in the day at the Emirates Stadium was a Van Persie goal, which was cancelled out by Keane.
It was yet another vital game at St. James Park, as two teams, Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham Hotspurs and Joe Kinnear’s Newcastle United, on the path of reviving their horrible season logged horns.
A late winner from Damien Duff, who was introduced two minute from time, allowed the Magpies to win this thrilling encounter 2-1.
Although visitors were always ahead with many opportunities coming along the way after Luka Modric cancelled out Charles N’Zogbia’s opener, Newcastle found a way to sneak in through Mark Viduka and Duff for making it 2-1.
Meanwhile at The Hawthorns, Manchester City Boss, Mark Hughes, saw the pressure on him continuing to mount as West Bromwich Albion defeated his side 2-1.
City moved into the relegation zone, as Roman Bednar and Luke Moore scored for the home side.
Mark Hughes might have a tough week ahead of himself, as he’ll have a lot to explain for his team’s horrible performance in the recent past.
