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:
5. Matt Ritchie - 7
His winner mentality and influence was felt from the off, bringing a different energy to this United side. A decent outlet on the left Photo: Julian Finney
6. Jonjo Shelvey - 6
Dropped into centre half at the end. Was physical, if not his most influential. Not his worst day. Photo: Clive Rose
7. Sean Longstaff - 7
A much more lively presence in midfield than the expected Jeff Hendrick. A positive return to action. Photo: LEE SMITH
8. Miguel Almiron - 7
Excellent throughout. A buzzing influence, dropping into pockets of space all over the park. Photo: Stu Forster
