Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur StadiumTottenham Hotspur 0 - Newcastle United 1 (Joelinton 27')
MAN OF THE MATCHPaul Dummett (Newcastle): So much for the Newcastle players not knowing their roles, as suggested by former striker Michael Chopra. The Tyneside defender encapsulated the visitors' will to win the game, playing everywhere across the back-line, winning crucial headers and making last-ditch tackles. If Newcastle can continue to defend this firmly throughout the course of the season, they will be OK.
KEY MOMENTS27' - GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Newcastle: Joelinton gives Newcastle the lead with his first goal in Premier League football! And what a time to get it! Wonderful movement and a great first touch to control Atsu's delightful pass, he takes a touch before burying it past Lloris. An impressive goal from Newcastle, but equally as woeful defending by Spurs. The two centre-halves were attracted to the ball and Joelinton moved into space and punished the hosts.
79' - PENALTY CLAIM! Lo Celso threads it through to Kane, he goes down under the challenge of Lascelles, who cut across his path. VAR check! NO PENALTY is the decision! Well, well. That is interesting. The officials clearly feel not enough was in that challenge. It could have gone either way.
81' - That is a huge miss from Moura! Another chance goes begging for Spurs! Sissoko's cross from the right is perfect, but the Brazilian balloons his first-time shot up and over the bar!
KEY STATS- Joelinton is the third Brazilian player to have scored for Newcastle in the Premier League, following Kenedy and Caçapa.
- There has not been a draw in the last 22 matches Tottenham have played at home to Newcastle (W13, L9).
- Newcastle end a series of 12 consecutive league away defeats against established top-six opposition.
