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:
17. Fulham - 30 points (up one position)
Scott Parker's side have been left kicking themselves at stages this season - take Aston Villa on Sunday for example. Fulham would hold an extra four points if matches lasted 80 minutes. P31 W6 D12 L13 GF23 GA36 GD-13. Photo: JUSTIN SETTERFIELD
18. Newcastle United - 23 points (down one position)
Without those late goals against Spurs (twice), Wolves, Crystal Palace, West Brom and Aston Villa, Steve Bruce’s side would have one foot in the Championship already. P30 W5 D8 L17 GF19 GA42 GD-23. Photo: OWEN HUMPHREYS
19. West Bromwich Albion - 23 points (no change in position)
Tied on the same points as Newcastle is West Brom, who would be two points better off if games lasted just 80 minutes. P30 W5 D8 L17 GF22 GA52 GD-30. Photo: CATHERINE IVILL
20. Sheffield United - 17 points (no change in position)
A disastrous season for the Blades, even if they would be three points better off without those late goals conceded. P30 W5 D2 L23 GF14 GA47 GD-33. Photo: Pool
