Newcastle United were close to leaving Elland Road with all three points but eventually had to settle for one in their clash with relegation-threatened Leeds United on Saturday.
The Magpies are edging ever closer to the promised land of the Champions League but still have some way to go with three huge clashes still to come this month. Eddie Howe remains as calm and composed as ever with Brighton, Leicester and Chelsea remaining.
Here are the moments you may have missed from the Premier League showdown on Saturday afternoon.

Tindall watch
Much has been made of Jason Tindall's rise to social media stardom this week, with the Newcastle United assistant grabbing the headlines after being accused of 'wanting to be the centre of attention.'
A viral Twitter account, which has seemingly taken a dislike to Tindall, has seen a rapid rise in followers after sharing videos of Howe's right-hand man shaking hands with opposition managers first and picturing himself in the centre of Newcastle's infamous dressing room photos.
All eyes were on Tindall before the Leeds United clash but he disappointed the waiting audience as Howe shook Sam Allardyce's hands before the Newcastle No 2 got a chance. Away fans chanted "There's only one Jason Tindall" as the ex-Bournemouth boss made his way to the visiting dugout before kick-off.
Howe tinkers
Much has been made of Eddie Howe's lack of midfield options in recent months. Bruno Guimaraes' rare spell of below-par form hasn't helped matters of late.
Howe tried to change things up at Elland Road, starting Joelinton in the No 6 role and allowing Bruno to play further forward - something the Brazilian has openly admitted preferring. However, with Sean Longstaff missing, Newcastle just couldn't dominate the midfield and struggled in the early stages.
Alexander Isak also appeared to be struggling out wide in the first-half as he tried to form a partnership with central striker Callum Wilson. Howe uncharacteristically changed things up towards the end of the first period, switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Isak as the No 10, Bruno and Joelinton holding and Willock + Almiron on the flanks.
Could we see that tactic again between now and the end of the season?
Leeds become the s***housers
Much has been made of Newcastle United's apparent time-wasting and game management in recent weeks. Something Eddie Howe is bored of hearing about.
But it was actually Leeds trying to eke out extra seconds from the very early stages. In fact, goalkeeper Joel Robles received a warning from referee Simon Hooper after only 25 minutes as he took an age restarting play from a goal-kick.
Robles was booked in the second-half for trying to put Callum Wilson off from taking a penalty. I wonder whether the same amount of criticism will be aimed at Sam Allardyce's side on this matter?
Touching Speed chant
One Leeds fan received a lifetime ban after leaping the advertising boards to give Eddie Howe a piece of his mind on Saturday afternoon. However, the overall respect between Newcastle and Leeds fans was clear to see.
23 minutes into the game and both sets of supporters chanted Gary Speed's name in a touching tribute to the late Welshman. 'Speedo' spent a combined 14 years at Leeds and Newcastle in a fantastic career.
