Tottenham Hotspur hold Manchester United, while Newcastle demolish Everton



Tottenham Hotspur fought back from two goals down to hold Manchester United to a 2-2 draw on Thursday as Newcastle closed in on Champions League football with a 4-1 thrashing of Everton.

Spurs were smashed 6-1 by Newcastle on Sunday to bring Cristian Stellini's four-game reign as interim manager to an end.

Things threatened to go from bad to worse in caretaker Ryan Mason's first match in charge as United stormed into a 2-0 lead by half-time.

United fans taunted the home support with chants of "Harry Kane, we'll see you in June" amid interest from the Red Devils in Spurs' all-time top goalscorer.

But Tottenham finally showed some fight to boost their chances of qualifying for Europe next season.

"I hope the fans can see that we were a team today and we ran for each other. In the second half we could have scored a lot more."

A point edges Spurs back up to fifth, but they remain six points adrift of fourth-placed United, who have two games in hand.
