Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero<\/a> has made his feelings perfectly clear with his reaction to the 2-2 draw with Newcastle United<\/a>. Spurs <\/a>were forced to settle for a point in their showdown against the Magpies at St James’ Park on Tuesday night in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Bruno Guimaraes had handed Newcastle the lead in the 71st minute, only for Romero to equalise soon after for Thomas Frank’s<\/a> side.<\/p>\n Anthony Gordon then put Newcastle in front, once again, from the penalty spot<\/a> in the closing minutes, only for Romero to score for a second time, this a dramatic overhead in stoppage time, to rescue a point for Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spurs were unhappy with the awarding of a penalty for Newcastle, which was given following a VAR check at St James’ Park.<\/p>\n Tottenham star, Rodrigo Bentancur, was penalised for holding Newcastle defender Dan Burn during a corner, with the incident going unnoticed before referee Thomas Bramall was instructed by the VAR officials in Stockley Park to look at his pitch-side monitor.<\/p>\n The U-turn has, naturally, been one of the main talking points from the game, with Romero making his frustration clear after the final whistle. On X – formerly known as Twitter – Romero reposted a tweet from Rio Ferdinand, who criticised the decision to award Newcastle a penalty.<\/p>\n “Disgraceful decision to reward [Newcastle] penalty,” Ferdinand wrote. “Whoever is controlling the VAR should be ashamed [and] the ref then reviews and should be also. Well done Newcastle.”<\/p>\n Romero reposted the message from Ferdinand, while also going on to write a post of his own on the social media platform to his 318,000 followers.<\/p>\n “It’s all about working hard, getting better, and pushing forward,” wrote Romero on X.<\/p>\n “Especially now, when things aren’t going our way, we’ve got to stick together. Thanks for all the support as always fans see you at home on Saturday.”<\/p>\n Frank also explained why he did not think Newcastle should have been awarded a penalty – with Tottenham’s head coach stating that VAR shouldn’t have intervened.<\/p>\n “And also, the second one is very disappointing to concede because for me it’s never a penalty,” said Frank.<\/p>\n “Even speaking to some from Newcastle, who didn’t think it’s a penalty.<\/p>\n “And we need the consistency. Because that penalty, that would be given two times a game.<\/p>\n “And I think the referee call on the pitch nailed it. And VAR can only be if it’s clear and obvious.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cristian Romero scored both goals for Tottenham Hotspur during their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United in the Premier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[77596,42,70357,94878,43,1102,10376,10361,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-172573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-cristian-romero","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-newcastle","11":"tag-newcastle-united-v-tottenham-hotspur","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-rio-ferdinand","15":"tag-spurs","16":"tag-top-news","17":"tag-top-stories","18":"tag-topnews","19":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
