Pardew disappointed Newcastle allowed Spurs to peg them back

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew was left disappointed dropping two points in their draw with Tottenham.

The Magpies looked to be heading for victory when they were pegged back by an injury-time equaliser.

This time, it was Tottenham's Aaron Lennon who did the damage to cancel out Fabricio Coloccini's stunning 59th-minute opener.

Pardew said: "If you have got a regular team that's winning every week and confident, you would have a little bit more 'je ne sais quoi' about you to see games out and be a bit more relaxed.

"Perhaps because we had conceded late last week, the answer was, 'Well, we got a bit deep last week, let's go and get the second', and of course, that cost us today.

"The balance is somewhere in the middle.

"Some senior players were disappointed last week, and even more so this week, but we will correct that, we will get that right.

"When you are a nailed-on, good team in the Premier League, that wouldn't have happened.

"We ain't that yet, we have still got to work towards that. But there were a lot of good signs today."
