Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle LIVE! Latest news and reaction from Jose Mourinho on VAR handball penalty
Tottenham vs Newcastle United LIVE!
Spurs missed the chance to make it four wins on the bounce in their third game of the new Premier League season as Newcastle United escaped with a controversial 1-1 draw.
Jose Mourinho's side come off a confidence-boosting 5-2 hammering of Southampton last week, and Lucas Moura's first-half goal was all they had to show for a dominant opening 45 minutes.
But Newcastle levelled in stoppage time courtesy of another controversial handball decision. Andy Carroll's header from point-blank range hit Eric Dier on the arm in the box and, after a delay for VAR, the spot-kick was given.
Callum Wilson stepped up to score and secure Newcastle a 1-1 draw - and with Mourinho storming down the tunnel before the final whistle, Spurs goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos was sent off.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Newcastle
Tottenham go into this game as undoubted favourites, having won five of their last six games against the Magpies.
Though in free-scoring form against Southampton, Tottenham are yet to claim a clean sheet this season, something Mourinho will be keen to correct on Sunday.
Newcastle looked less than convincing in their 3-0 home defeat to Brighton last weekend, and I can't see past a home win here.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Tottenham and Newcastle are certainly no strangers having met a whopping 162 times in their history.
It's the home side who enter the fixture with the better record, having won on 71 occasions, as opposed to Newcastle's 59 wins, alongside 32 draws.
It was Newcastle who emerged as victors at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season, however, thanks to a rare Joelinton goal.
