Steve Bruce on Newcastle's snatched point and penalty drama

Steve Bruce says he can fully understand why Tottenham Hotspur's bench lost the plot at the end of their clash with Newcastle United.

A fortunate VAR decision handed Callum Wilson the chance to equalise and he took it with both hands.

But it forced José Mourinho to storm down the tunnel and Spurs' goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos to be sent off.

Bruce said: "I can understand why Spurs will go berserk and Roy Hodgson reacted like he did.

"It is a total nonsense, we should be jumping through hoops but I would be devastated if that was us. Maybe Roy is right, maybe we all need to get together.

"The decisions are ruining the spectacle.

"We have to get together as managers and say this must stop."

Bruce also praised Karl Darlow after his stunning display handed Newcastle a point.

He said: "If our goalkeeper didn't play as well first half they would have been out of sight.

"Second half we were better and posed a bit of a threat.

"Our goalkeeper has got us a point and a decision that went our way."
