Obafemi Martins inspired Newcastle to record a 3-2 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in a game that was the very definition of a five-goal thriller.

The Magpies looked destined for defeat in the face of some determined and inventive attacking football from Spurs, but summoned the necessary character to record their first win in four games and move into 11th place in the Premiership after instigating a superb turnaround.

Martin Jol's side had already seen Paul Huntington reply to Jermain Defoe's opener when Dimitar Berbatov seemingly struck the decisive blow on 54 minutes, but Martins awoke from his slumber to transform the game in the space of 90 seconds.

The summer signing from Internazionale rifled a stunning effort past Paul Robinson on 72 minutes before then playing in Nicky Butt for the unlikely winner in what was a non-stop game at White Hart Lane.
