Timothee Atouba struck a wicked cross-shot past Shay Given in the 51st minute that the keeper had no chance of stopping, but it was slightly against the run of play, as first half saves by Paul Robinson stopped Craig Bellamy and James Milner from opening the scoring. Jermaine Jenas (then a Newcastle player) put a shot just wide and then his header hit Bellamy in front of goal, before the Gallowgate end roared for a penalty for Atouba’s push on Shearer, but the referee ignored their claims.

Despite losing out to two goals from Alan Shearer, Tottenham felt they were robbed when referee Paul Durkin and his linesmen failed to spot Nikos Dabizas’ handball in the box in the second half, which could clearly be seen form the opposite end of the ground.

It left the game goal-less until the 109th minute, when the ref did see that Sol Campbell palmed the ball away over his head and Shearer fired the spot-kick past Ian Walker as he dived left and the ball went right. With time ticking away, just two minutes remained on the clock when Silvio Maric played a short pass in front of Shearer to allow him to shoot in off the underside of the crossbar and seal their passage to the final in what was Newcastle’s last win of the season.

Both Les Ferdinand and David Ginola tested Newcastle keeper Shay Given, with Howey's foul on Dominguez in the area waved away by the ref.  That perhaps equalled out Mabbutt's challenge on Ketsbaia in the box that brought the midfielder down without punishment.  Magpies defender Warren Barton had hit the bar in the 76th minute and Walker denied Ketsbaia and Rush, but could only parry Batty's 20 yard shot and Barton converted the loose ball for the winner.

When Keith Gillespie scored from Steve Watson’s cross in the seventh minute and then the lead was extended by Darren Peacock’s header from a corner three minutes later, things looked bleak for Tottenham at St. James’ Park.

With three goals in four minutes halfway through the first half, Spurs turned the game in their favour. Nick Barmby took a return pass from Jurgen Klinsmann and got Spurs a goal back, before the German striker read Paul Bracewell’s header and put the ball beyond Pavel Srnicek to make it 2-2. Before Newcastle could respond, Darren Anderton struck a 30-yard drive into the net to hand Tottenham the lead.

Things got worse for Newcastle when Srnicek was dismissed for fouling Barmby after the break, but his replacement – Mike Hooper – dived full length to keep out Klinsmann’s spot-kick.

Play swung in Newcastle’s direction after Colin Calderwood was sent off for a second yellow card and three minutes later, Watson’s pass put Peter Beardsley in for a late leveller.

Fifteen minutes later, Ruel Fox was on the spot to nudge home a loose ball in the goalmouth to beat Ian Walker to equalise, but Teddy restored the lead when he was picked out by a Darren Anderton corner on the edge of the box and buried his shot just before half time.  However, Fox popped up again in the box to make it 2-2 at the interval. 

In an open game, there were chances at both ends, but in the 71^st minute Sheringham completed his hat-trick and Romanian Gica Popescu rounded off a 4-2 win with a low shot from the edge of the box at the Paxton Road end with ten minutes left.

Spurs enjoyed the better share of the possession and could have extended their lead, when good chances for Durie, Sheringham and Dozzell all went close, but meant that Tottenham had to settle for the single goal victory over newly promoted Newcastle United, who were on the crest of a euphoric wave as manager Kevin Keegan had taken them up with football that had set the second tier alight.

Welcomed back by a shower of Mars Bars every time Gazza went near the touchline, the midfielder was part of the Tottenham team that found itself 0-2 down early on to goals from Andy Thorn and Darren Jackson.

However, Chris Waddle hit a volley into the net to bring Spurs back into the match, then Walsh and Waddle worked a short corner routine to set up Terry Fenwick to head in the equaliser.

Goals from Alan Gowling, Glenn Keeley and Geoff Nulty saw the Magpies through to Wembley, while Spurs could only muster a response of one goal from defender Don McAllister.

The third minute opener from Gowling put the Magpies level on aggregate and then they went further ahead through a 46th minute goal from defender Keeley and his fellow back four man Geoff Nulty made it 3-0 on the night with a goal ten minutes into the second half.  An hour had passed when McAllister got one goal back, but Tottenham could not force an aggregate equaliser and went out of the competition.

A single strike from John Pratt gave Tottenham the win, but an inspired display in goal from Pat Jennings kept Newcastle at bay as they pushed forward to gain an equaliser.  Referee Clive Thomas played a good advantage when defender Geoff Nulty stopped John Duncan's header from Terry Naylor's cross from going in with his arm.  The match official let play continue and Pratt seized the loose ball to crack home a fierce shot.

The last half hour was a backs-to-the-wall effort by Tottenham, as Newcastle pushed for an equaliser, but Jennings saved everything which was thrown at him, producing a stunning save from a drive from Tommy Craig which saw him arch backward to  punch the dipping shot away for a corner.

When Alfie Conn converted the first goal of the game in the 14th minute, scoring with a run past Glenn Keeley and then firing a shot low to Iam McFaul's left as Frank Clark and Pat Howard closed in on him, the final result could not have been imagined.  A perceptive back-heel by John Duncan had set Conn on his way for the opener.

When Iam McFaul was beaten by Cyril Knowles' driven cross, fumbling the ball into the net, the signs were there and John Duncan hit a shot on the turn that the hapless keeper allowed to come off his chest for Alfie to snaffle the rebound into the net and Conn got a fourth before half-time, turning in Terry Naylor’s cross to complete his hat-trick.  Considering Tottenham's poor form this season, to be 4-0 up away from home was a good result at 90 minutes, let alone at half-time.

United hadn’t been that bad in the first half, attacking the Spurs goal, but we had been clinical. At the start of the second half, the home fans in the stadium, which was being rebuilt, got behind their side and Jimmy Smith’s header from Tommy Craig’s corner allowed Micky Burns to reduce the deficit with 53 minutes gone. When Jimmy Neighbour's back header into the goalmouth caused confusion in the 62nd minute, Alfie Conn seized on a weak Alan Kennedy clearance and rifled it back past McFaul and scored the goal that gave him his fourth of the match.

Eleven minutes from time, Newcastle got another goal back, with David Craig hit a 25 yard stunner to pull another goal back, but Newcastle couldn’t find a way through the Tottenham defence again, leaving them 5-2 losers on the day.

Spurs enjoyed a 3-0 First Division home win over Newcastle with Cyril Knowles grabbing a brace and Martin Chivers scoring the other goal.

Martin Chivers had already put Spurs ahead, when Philip Beal's shot was deflected into the air and Cyril Knowles darted onto it to head in to make the score 2-0 at the Paxton Road end.  Then Knowles made it three with a free-kick expertly curled around the wall from just outside the box shortly after to give Spurs a three goal lead within seven minutes.

However, Spurs hit back with two goals from free-kicks.  Chivers headed home Peters' cross in the 59th minute and then Ray Evans hit a dead ball onto Alan Gilzean's head and he set up Peters, who scored a couple of minutes after the first goal.  With the final whistle looming, the ref awarded Spurs a penalty for a push by Bobby Moncur on Gilzean and Chivers strode up to hit home the spot-kick for a late winner in the 87th minute.

With the game being played on a summer's evening, Spurs put on a fine display with some very good football and a goal early in the second half was enough to secure the points.  It was a neat free-kick routine that produced the winner, with Kinnear touching the ball to Steve Perryman, who chipped over the defensive wall for the Irish defender to run onto his pass and smash the ball into the net past Iam McFaul for what would be his last goal for Tottenham.

And it was Kinnear who secured the win with two goal-line clearances as Newcastle piled on the pressure at the end from a string of six corners.  Martin Chivers was denied a goal by the outstretched leg of the keeper, as he shot low after breaking into the penalty area.

Spurs won this First Division meeting 4-0 against a Newcastle side including three debutants.  Former Spur Jim Iley was the captain of the Geordie team including Dave Elliott, John McNamee and Tommy Robson in their first game for the North-East side.

With 30 minutes gone, Dave Mackay opened the scoring from Jimmy Robertson's partially cleared free-kick as he rifled home a left foot shot.  It was a couple of minutes later when Terry Venables' free-kick was hit against the post by Robertson for Jimmy Greaves to turn in to add a second.

Eddie Clayton was on for Mackay, who bruised an ankle and his through pass five minutes into the second half set Greaves away for his second goal.  Venables helped himself to the fourth after Alan Gilzean set him up with a pass in from the left wing for the midfielder to rattle the ball home in the 58th minute.

Hollins saved a Blanchflower penalty four minutes before the break and then Mackay's header hit the bar, with Cliff Jones and Bobby Smith (twice) were denied by goal-line clearances. 

In the 64th minute, Ivor Allchurch headed an equaliser, with Albert Scanlon netting the winner 15 minutes later.  The Newcastle keeper was not finished and produced a fine save to stop Terry Dyson bringing the scores back level near the end.

Len White scored two solo first half goals to give the Magpies a half-time lead, although Maurice Norman had limited the lead with a header from a corner.  In the second period, White nipped in to seize on the hesitancy in the home defence, before Cliff Jones shocked the home crowd to put Tottenham in the lead, despite being in what looked an offside position.

With just five minutes left, Bobby Smith put away Les Allen's pass to make it 4-2, but Gordon Hughes struck to make the final moments tense.  Spurs held on to record their 14th unbeaten match from the start of the Double Season.

However, the revival did not last long, with Johnny Brooks firing in from a tight angle, before he went on to get his second and Jones completing his hat-trick both in the final eight minutes of the game, to wrap up a 5-1 victory.

The lead was doubled just seconds after the break, when Spurs kicked off and scored without a United player touching the ball !!   Harmer to Medwin to Dunmore and he did the rest, rounding the goalie and slipping the ball home for his second of the game.

Newcastle were not going to give up without a fight and when Len White nodded in George Eastham's corner on the hour, it looked touch and go for Spurs with the Magpies piling forward, but we held out for a welcome away win.

After 63 minutes, Dyson made an opportunity for Stokes to turn and shoot to give Tottenham the ascendancy, but that didn't last too long before White tied it up at 2-2 a minute later.  With only ten minutes left, Bobby Mitchell converted a penalty given for a Hopkins foul in the box, but an award at the other end of the pitch for handball by debutant Bill McKinney saw Harmer hammer the spot-kick past Simpson to earn Tottenham a draw with just five minutes remaining in the match.

The chances were evenly shared before Jackie Milburn put the Magpies ahead, with Davies adding a second 12 minutes afterwards.  After five minutes, Tottenham got back in the game with Robb's cross being turned home by Terry Medwin and following good work from Norman and Harmer, an opening was created for Stokes, who converted from close range to tie the score at 2-2 eleven minutes after the first Spurs goal. 

Reynolds came to the fore in the second half, as Newcastle dominated, but Spurs were disappointed not to be awarded a penalty when Len Duquemin was felled in the box.  Tottenham could have won it at the death, with Robb and Stokes combining to set up Duquemin with a shooting opportunity, but the forward hit his shot way too high and a point apiece was the result.

Kick off 14.45

White Hart Lane saw Spurs secure a 2-1 win over the Magpies at the Lane with the second goal being a bizarre one.  Bob Stokoe hit a long back pass in the 40th minute that flew past goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson to put Tottenham one up.  Spurs were already ahead through a 20th minute effort from Johnny Gavin, but Bobby Mitchell's goal on the hour reduced the lead, but Tottenham held on for the victory.

Spurs went into the lead, when Sid McClellan shot over Mitchell in the Newcastle goal from 25 yards, but with 14 minutes gone Charlie Crowe pulled the score back to 1-1.  Jackie Milburn played in Ivor Broadis to give Newcastle a 21st minute lead, but this only lasted 12 minutes, as Eddie Baily netted to equalise.

A minute before half time, Len White restored the Magpies advantage, but a minute after the interval McClellan struck again to make it 3-3 and in doing so, collided with Mitchell, who had to leave the field and was replaced in goal by right half Jimmy Scholar.  Baily put Spurs ahead with 25 minutes left, but five minutes later, Broadis tied the game with a deflected shot off Harry Clarke and the score remained 4-4 until the end of a very eventful match.

Spurs survived a penalty award to go on and win this game at St. James' Park.

Sonny Walters had given Tottenham the lead in the first half, but a matter of minutes later, the home side were given a penalty, which Jackie Milburn took, only to see Ted Ditchburn turn the ball away and save the follow-up by George Hannah.

Milburn did beat Ditchburn in the second half to make the score 1-1, but a storming finish by Spurs saw George Robb and Eddie Baily score to put the Lilywhites 3-1 up by the end.

Newcastle got revenge for the big win of the previous season as they hit Spurs for seven.

The scoring started as early as the fourth minute, with Bobby Mitchell going past Alf Ramsey to score the first Newcastle goal, which was followed by more goals from Tommy Walker and George Robledo, who seized on a slip by Ditchburn and made it 3-0 after 17 minutes.

George Hannah set up Mitchell made it 4-0 before Jimmy Scarth hit back for Tottenham right on half-time.

Les Bennett gave Spurs some hope of a fight-back, but these were extinguished when Robledo got another two and Ernie Taylor hit the seventh to put Spurs to the sword.

Tottenham were clear at the top of the table, but Newcastle made it hard for them to gain their single goal victory.

Arthur Willis' free-kick was met by Sonny Walters, who beat Jack Fairbrother in the home goal.  With Les Bennett injured early in the match, it made the going tough for Tottenham, but Ted Ditchburn was in fine form to thwart Newcastle when they got in on goal.  However, at the other end, only a fine Fairbrother save denied Baily doubling the score for Spurs.

At the time of this game Newcastle sat second in the table, while Spurs were two places below, but they made the table look ridiculous with a performance of stunning simplicity, despite going into the game without influential midfielder Ron Burgess.

Five minutes into the game, Spurs were ahead with Les Bennett finishing a great passing move and this was added to by goals from Eddie Baily and two from Les Medley before the interval.

A long range shot from Sonny Walters made it 5-0 ten minutes into the second half, before Medley completed his hat-trick and Alf Ramsey wrapped up the magnificent seven from the penalty spot to secure the two teams swapping places in the League.

The visitors had a set-back before kick-off with stand-in keeper Billy Mellor getting injured in the warm-up, leaving him with restricted movement due to a back strain and their reserve player – John Findlay couldn’t get ready in time before the game started.  Newcastle’s 10 men began with forward Jock King taking the gloves, with Findlay playing as a forward. King was only short (5’ 7”), but the defensive display by the Newcastle side restricted Tottenham to one chance and that came from the Toon’s defender Frank Hudspeth slicing a clearance against his own bar and luckily, the rebound was cleared and the Magpies hung on for a point in a 0-0 draw.

During the game Bill McCracken, the Newcastle defender, smashed the ball into the West Stand so hard, it almost knocked Spurs manager and his former Newcastle team-mate Peter McWilliam out of his seat !!
