Tottenham Hotspur responded in stoppage time to cancel out Newcastle United's controversial late penalty at St. James' Park and arrest their losing run.
It was more of the same in the first half, with Spurs unable to test the goalkeeper for the fourth successive game before the break. But as in Paris last week, Thomas Frank's side showed fight after the break, and this was typified by Cristian Romero as he scored twice to secure a point.
Bruno Guimaraes opened the scoring, but Anthony Gordon's spot kick was a contentious call, and Arsenal correspondent Charles Watt even commented on the "madness" in seeing it given.
But the captain's contribution also saw Tottenham end a run of four losses to the Magpies, and it gives Frank a foundation to build on throughout December.
Cristian Romero leads the Spurs' fightback
Romero is among the most aggressive and tenacious players in the Premier League. He led by example on Tyneside, scoring both goals with a brave header and dramatic bicycle kick in the dying embers.
On his return from suspension, Romero reminded the fans of the dimension he adds when on the field and wearing the armband.
Defensively, the Argentina international was something of a mixed bag, though, only winning six of 13 contested duels across the evening and being skinned by Harvey Barnes for the winger's chance.
However, the 27-year-old made five ball recoveries and five clearances, also blocking two shots. He led by example.
Romero's heroics will secure the headlines this morning, but there was arguably a Spurs man in front of him who played an even more impressive game, point-sealing strikes aside.
Frank has found Spurs' new Mousa Dembele
In testing times this season, 19-year-old Lucas Bergvall has stepped up and looked like one of Tottenham's most promising players, purposeful on the ball and combative in the challenge.
He's still so young, but the teenager's maturity and natural technical flair indicate a certain likeness to former Lilywhites star Mousa Dembele.
His heart and passion are clear to see, and as he polishes his natural skillset, he could emulate Dembele's all-controlling role in Mauricio Pochettino's midfield, earning him so many plaudits.
Newcastle were on the front foot for much of the game, but Bergvall helped repel the hosts throughout.
One Spurs podcast host even remarked that the Swedish talent was "a class above the rest in the first half", effortless on the ball and tenacious in a way which hasn't been matched by his teammates (barring Romero).
How often was this the case with Dembele? his elegance and physicality made him a unique midfielder, and it was his effortless dribbling that led Belgian teammate Kevin De Bruyne to call him "the best in the world" during his heyday.
Bergvall isn't there yet, but he's shining in a Tottenham team which, at times, appears allergic to positive attacking play, inviting pressure on themselves with poor passing.
However, the club's never-say-die attitude was embodied by players like the skipper and Bergvall, with the Scandinavian star showing off both sides of his game by winning his tackle and succeeding with both attempts to carry the ball forward.
Football.london gave him a 7/10 post-match rating and acknowledged Bergvall's intensity in pressing against the Newcastle engine room and providing plenty of energy to keep the spirited fightback focused.
Bergvall has some way to go before he could say he is on a level with Dembele at his Tottenham best, but this is the kind of profile and the kind of performance that Frank needs from his team to start playing with an exciting identity.
