Guess what? Newcastle salvaged a 1-1 tie with Stoke City. The clock was going tick, tick, tick, on Newcastle’s season. They are on the brink of being sent down to the Championship League.

Then all of a sudden a hero emerged for the Magpies, Andrew Carroll. On a wonderfully tossed throw in ball by Newcastle into the center of the box, Andrew Carroll’s header slipped past the keeper and a defender to level the match at one all in the 81st minute. This goal may have saved the season for Newcastle.

Newcastle escaped with a 1-1  tie with Stoke City. This was a badly needed point for Newcastle. They are now tied with Middlesbrough for 18th spot. Newcastle and Middlesbrough each have 30 points.

Both teams trail Sunderland by a two points. Sunderland has 32 points.

Stayed tuned as the relegation zone battles continue to rage on.
