Karl Darlow 9, Callum Wilson 6; Harry Kane 8, Eric Dier 7: Tottenham v Newcastle player ratings

Another controversial handball decision gave Newcastle United a stoppage-time penalty converted by Callum Wilson to earn a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Spurs had led through a 25th-minute Lucas Moura goal and Newcastle had not managed a shot on target but deep into stoppage time Newcastle substitute Andy Carroll and Eric Dier challenged for a ball and the forward's header brushed the arm of the Spurs defender.

A VAR review led referee Peter Bankes to look at the incident, in which Dier had his back to the ball as he jumped with Carroll, and point to the spot.

Wilson duly converted as a fuming Jose Mourinho could be seen storming down the tunnel before the full-time whistle and a member of Spurs' coaching staff was shown a red card for protesting.
