Joe Willock's late equaliser secured a deserved - and vital - 2-2 draw for Newcastle against Tottenham, with Spurs missing the chance to go fourth
All eyes were on Newcastle after a dismal defeat to Brighton two weeks ago, but the international break seemed to breathe new life into the team as they deservedly went ahead when Joelinton (28) fired home
But the lead was short-lived as Kane bundled in the equaliser less than two minutes later (30), before powering home a superb second not long after (34)
Much like the first-half goals, it was a short period towards the end of the game that ultimately decided the outcome
 Kane spurned a golden chance to wrap up the three points and his hat-trick when he clipped the post, before Arsenal loanee Willock (86) found the net via the underside of the crossbar two minutes later
It was the least Newcastle deserved after a much-improved performance
 They remain 17th on 29 points and avoided ending the day in the bottom three after  Newcastle also have a game in hand over the London side with a three-point cushion
Tottenham miss the chance to go into the top four, instead moving into fifth, two points behind Chelsea
 West Ham could displace them when they travel to Wolves on The first half began with sights of goal for both sides
 Davinson Sanchez - making his 100th Premier League appearance - nodded the ball into Joelinton's chest, with the Newcastle striker eventually sending his effort straight at Hugo Lloris
 At the other end, Kane beat Emil Krafth before firing on the angle, but Martin Dubravka was level to it
Newcastle had two quickfire chances to take the lead in the 19th minute
 Jonjo Shelvey lofted a superb ball into the area, picking out Dwight Gayle in the middle of the defenders
 His first strike forced a superb, leaping save from Lloris
 Gayle was then lurking for the rebound, but his shot was caught under the body of the Tottenham goalkeeper, who was able to collect
Soon after though, Newcastle took a deserved lead
 Matt Ritchie collected a poor clearance from Sanchez, before slotting Sean Longstaff through
 He then squared the ball for the waiting Joelinton, who emphatically fired home for only his second Premier League goal at St James' Park
But the joy was short-lived as Kane equalised 90 seconds later after some more suspect defending
 Giovani Lo Celso slotted the ball through for Kane, with Krafth and Dubravka between them unable to clear their lines
 Kane dinked over both, with the ball ricocheting kindly off his legs and into the back of the net
Kane added his second in superb fashion four minutes later
 Tanguy Ndombele chipped the ball in for him on the right of the area, with the striker unleashing a thunderous half volley that rifled into the far-left corner
Within seconds of the restart, Newcastle went close to an equaliser
 Miguel Almiron curled an effort goalwards, but Lloris made a vital, fingertip save to send the ball around the post
 The half continued with far fewer clear-cut chances than the first half, but Tottenham went close in the 67th minute
Lo Celso delivered a corner, which Dubravka initially punched away
 However, it landed on Tanganga's head, sending the ball goalwards, but his effort was seen away by Almiron's own nodded effort on the line
Newcastle could have been left to rue a huge miss from Joelinton shortly after
 Krafth sent a fizzing cross into the area, finding the striker, but he could only lash his effort past the post
 Kane then let two glorious chances for his hat-trick pass him by
 Much like his second goal, Ndombele played the Spurs striker through, but he could not sort his feet out and Dubravka came across to smother
Tottenham then drove forward on a speedy break, with Lamela feeding Kane in the area, but he could only send his effort onto the post
 It proved to be a pivotal moment as two minutes later, Newcastle equalised
 It was a chaotic goal too, with Ritchie's cross nodded back by Joelinton
 Almiron saw his close-range header blocked by Rodon, but Willock was coming in to hammer the ball home via the underside of the crossbar, peeling away for a delirious celebration
Once again, Kane was the man to the rescue for Tottenham with two goals that almost won the game
 The first was a real slice of luck but the second was vintage Kane - firing home into the bottom corner
The striker has been directly involved in 45 goals in all competitions this season (29 goals and 16 assists), equalling his career-best tally from 2017/18 (41 goals and 4 assists)
Kane has also scored 84 goals in 120 away games in the Premier League for Spurs, the most goals any player has scored away from home for a single club in the competition, overtaking Wayne Rooney's 82 for Manchester United
"We're pleased but, in my opinion, it should have been three points
 I thought we were the better side, it's as good as I've seen us play for a long time, especially after the debacle of two weeks ago
"We've done as well as we could have hoped, we're just disappointed we haven't won it
 But you take a point and move on
 There was the performance, which I was really pleased with, considering what's happened over the last couple of weeks
"The spirit in the camp and the togetherness is, in my opinion, always going to be there
 I alluded to it before the game, we have to it with so much nonsense up here, but after a poor five minutes where we gave the goals away, the response was there for everybody to see
 The spirit is never in doubt
"The performance is what you're looking for after a such a poor one
 We all know we let ourselves down a couple of weeks ago, so to come out here and perform against a very good team in Tottenham, I thought they were excellent
 I couldn't say anything else
"When they set standards like they have today, it's important that you stay there
 We're in tomorrow to start work on next week
 We've got a crucial few weeks and let's get ready for the challenge because there's still a lot of football to be played
 But if we stay at that level, then I'm still convinced we'll be OK
""It is not a good point
 We should and we can, with the objective to win so I'm not happy with a point
 I don't want to go very deep on my analysis because I feel that what I feel, what I think, what I want to say cannot be with you, it can only be in the dressing room
"If I analyse the performance separated from so many mistakes that lead to instability and instability leads to hope in the opposition, if I want to analyse it separate from that, I think we were very good in some moments… But I cannot do it
 I cannot separate the game from these moments of instability and that's the reason why we didn't the game
"Every point for Newcastle can be a crucial point
 Of course we knew that and until the game was over, they were going to fight
 We come to the second half with the intention of killing it and in fact, the biggest chance of the second half was just before the 2-2 where we hit the post
"But we knew they were going to fight until the end and I think because of that fighting spirit and also because they were probably feeling a bit of fragility, they went until the end and got the point
"It was not a problem of fight, it was not a problem of attitude, the players wanted to win but I have to be honest and say I saw things on the pitch, not in terms of attitude but in terms of profile, vision, balance, which belongs to the top players, I didn't see in every position
"We were three points behind Chelsea, now we're two points behind Chelsea, so you can look at two perspectives
 But it isn't just about Chelsea, it's about Everton, West Ham and Liverpool so you can say we got one point in relation to Chelsea but lost two to Liverpool so let's see what the other does
"That's not the point for me in this moment, the point for me is to set up a team that came here with every intention to win and in the end, a little bit of déjà vu in some situations
 I believe many of these white hairs, they come with things I'm not used to seeing in football matches at this level
