Amanda Staveley's partner sends Newcastle United message after Tottenham draw

Amanda Staveley's husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi has echoed the views of thousands of Newcastle United fans following the draw with Tottenham.

Arsenal loanee Joe Willock struck a deserved equaliser five minutes from time after a Harry Kane brace seemed to have the visitors on course for victory.

Joelinton opened the scoring following a bright start for Newcastle, but a quickfire brace from the England international turned the match on it's head.

It's a point which temporarily extends the Magpies cushion over the relegation zone to three points, although Bruce's side could still finish the weekend in the bottom three if Fulham go on to win at Aston Villa.

Ghodoussi is a consortium member of the attempted Saudi takeover at Newcastle, which has been led by Staveley.

The consortium originally walked away from the deal last summer due to complications over the Premier League's owner's and directors test, but a positive resolution in Mike Ashley's ongoing arbitration case could revive the deal.

Ghodoussi regularly posts on social media following United matches, and his latest message reflects the stress many will have felt watching proceedings at St James' Park from their sofas.

He posted: "That was a stressful 90min."

One fan replied: "It’s been a stressful season Mehrdad."

Another supporter commented: "Not much longer and we can truly enjoy our football again."

United travel to Burnley in their next outing, before returning to St James' Park to host West Ham.
