Joelinton put the home side ahead before a Harry Kane double gave Tottenham Hotspur the lead in the North East.
But Joe Willock netted a late equaliser to hand Newcastle a vital point.
The draw against Spurs means the Magpies’ last win came back in February when his side defeated Southampton 3-2 at St James’ Park.
Newcastle United are hovering just one place above the relegation zone but they do have a game in hand on 18th-placed Fulham.
However, the London club play against Aston Villa in the late kick-off this evening.
If Scott Parker’s side manages a win, they will send Newcastle United into the relegation zone for the first time since October 2019.
Here, Shields Gazette Newcastle United writer Liam Kennedy delivers his player ratings after watching the game at St James’ Park:
1. Martin Dubravka - 6
Could do absolutely nothing about the goals. Generally solid. Very vocal throughout the 90 minutes. Photo: Stu Forster
2. Jacob Murphy - 7
A decent impact down the right. Went close with one or two efforts. A good return to the side in an attacking sense. Photo: Stu Forster
3. Emil Krath - 4
Very, very shaky from the off. Largely to blame for the Spurs equaliser. Doesn't seem to look at home anywhere in the United backline. Photo: Stu Forster
4. Paul Dummett - 5
Questionable defending for the second goal let down an otherwise OK performance on the left of the three. Photo: Mike Hewitt
