🎥 Martin Dúbravka howler gifts Spurs the winner against Newcastle

Martin Dúbravka is a fine goalkeeper but even the best of us make mistakes sometimes.

Newcastle looked as if they were heading towards a solid point when they took on Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday until, with just seven minutes from time, Son Heung-min had a speculative effort from outside the box.

And to the dismay of Magpies supporters everywhere, their goalkeeper let it slip through his fingers for 1-0.

But perhaps it’s easy to understand why the Slovakian goalkeeper was a bit rattled.

England has experienced a cold snap this week and while the two sets of players warmed up before kick-off, big chunks of ice could be seen falling from the roof of the stadium.

And this is how close Dúbravka came from being hit by one.

Unfortunately, that was where his good luck began and ended on Saturday.
