Jose Mourinho hails 'phenomenal' Newcastle United player
Darlow pulled off a string of saves in this afternoon’s 1-1 Premier League draw against Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur side.
The goalkeeper kept Newcastle, trailing to a first-half Lucas Moura strike, in the behind-closed-doors game, and United claimed a point with a controversial penalty from Callum Wilson after a lengthy VAR review and pitchside check from referee Peter Bankes into an inadvertent Eric Dier handball.

“I don’t want to comment – I just don’t want to,” said Mourinho. “My team did a fantastic match – I cannot ask more from the players. Their goalkeeper was phenomenal. I cannot ask more from my players.”
