Tottenham showed character to twice come from behind against Newcastle, but the same problems remain for Thomas Frank's struggling side.
They've won just three of their last 14 games and had it not been for Cristian Romero's heroics, the pressure would have been ramped up ahead of Saturday's important home game against Brentford.
Frank made a bold call by benching centre-back Micky van de Ven, although it's at the other end of the pitch where the issues lie without Dominic Solanke, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Romero's double were the only shots on target Spurs had at St James' Park, as they failed to register one in the first half for a fourth consecutive league game.
Spurs have scored 23 goals from 132 shots and 12.8 expected goals in the Premier League this season - the best shot conversion rate (17.4 per cent) and xG overperformance (+10.2) of any side - but it's unsustainable.
