In 10 different matches this season, the Magpies have taken the lead and either been forced to settle for a draw or worse, lose completely.
That’s what happened at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon as Antonio Conte’s men ran riot after half-time.
Fabian Schar’s free-kick on 38 minutes handed Eddie Howe’s side a shock lead but the hosts restored parity less than four minutes later.
Then, goals from Matt Doherty, Son Heung-min, Emerson Royal and Steven Bergwijn inflicted a heavy defeat on United, who remain nine points above the relegation zone.
So, just how many points have Newcastle dropped from winning positions this season, and how does their tally compare to other Premier League clubs?
NewcastleWorld takes a look and just as a pre-warning, the total is staggering:
