Inspired Sammy Ameobi helped Newcastle United come from a goal down to beat Tottenham 2-1 on Sunday.
Alan Pardew saw his side pick up their first Premier League win of the season last weekend against Leicester City, but they fell behind to an early Emmanuel Adebayor goal at White Hart Lane.
However, Ameobi made an instant impact by equalising seven seconds after his introduction at the start of the second half, and fellow substitute Remy Cabella laid on Ayoze Perez's maiden Newcastle goal to complete an impressive fightback.
Mauricio Pochettino recalled Adebayor at the expense of Roberto Soldado and the decision paid off when the Togo international headed the opener after 18 minutes.
Tottenham were then stunned as Ameobi fired home from Jack Colback's long ball to register his first top-flight goal for
Newcastle, before Ayoze - who moved to St James' Park from Spanish second-tier side Tenerife in the close-season - achieved the same feat when he nodded in Cabella's floated delivery.
