Steve Bruce’s side have netted inside the final 10 minutes to earn draws against Tottenham Hotspur both home away.
The same goes for Wolverhampton Wanderers away and Aston Villa at home, as well as clinching crucial victories versus Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.
Where would the Magpies be without those late goals?
Well, with a little help from StatBunker, we’ve worked out how the Premier League table would look IF games lasted just 80 minutes:
13. Brighton and Hove Albion - 37 points (up three positions)
Look away Brighton fans because the threat of relegation wouldn’t be an issue if your side kept it together in the closing stages. P30 W9 D10 L11 GF28 GA31 GD-3. Photo: JOHN WALTON
14. Wolverhampton Wanderers - 36 points (no change position)
Wolves would have one point more - which would certainly be welcomed - but that has no impact on their current position in the table. P30 W9 D9 L12 GF27 GA34 GD-7. Photo: Alex Pantling
15. Southampton - 34 points (down two positions)
While their number of defeats remain the same, one of the Saints’ wins this season would have been a draw if matches ended on 80 minutes. P30 W9 D7 L14 GF35 GA44 GD-10. Photo: CLIVE BRUNSKILL
16. Burnley - 31 points (down one position)
The difference for Burnley - and it’s a big one in the context of the relegation fight - is one of their wins would be replaced with a draw. P30 W7 D10 L13 GF23 GA38 GD-15. Photo: PETER POWELL
