2008: Tottenham Hotspur 1-4 Newcastle United

Newcastle United fought from a goal behind to record back-to-back Premier League victories.

Darren Bent put Tottenham Hotspur ahead with a header from Steed Malbranque’s cross, but Nicky Butt’s shot found the bottom corner to level proceedings before half-time. 

Geremi’s free-kick put Newcastle in front shortly after the break, with goals from Michael Owen - his third in as many matches - and Obafemi Martins securing a comprehensive victory.

The result meant that just one place separated the two sides, although Newcastle were four points behind in 12th with 35 points while Spurs sat 11th on 39 points.

2013: Southampton 2-1 Chelsea

Chelsea suffered a third straight away defeat in the league, which dented their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. 

Jay Rodriguez opened the scoring for Southampton with a neat finish from a Steven Davis assist, with Chelsea captain John Terry heading in an equaliser soon after.

However, Southampton restored their advantage just two minutes later with a brilliant 25-yard free-kick from Rickie Lambert for a lead they held on to.

The Saints, rejuvenated under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, climbed to 12th in the table after establishing a four-point safety cushion from the relegation places.

Chelsea dropped to fourth on 55 points, with Arsenal just two points behind them.
