Tottenham 0 Newcastle 1 – Watch official match highlights here

It ended Tottenham 0 Newcastle 1 on Sunday afternoon.

Newcastle coming out on top despite having only 20% possession.

A quality goal from Joelinton the difference between the two teams.

On 27 minutes Atsu picked out Joelinton unmarked on the edge of the box, the Brazilian taking one touch before tucking his left foot shot away.

Longstaff produced a fine save from Lloris only minutes earlier but a square ball would have found one of two unmarked Newcastle players inside the box.

The character and commitment was questioned last week at Norwich but we had the perfect response here.

Were Spurs poor or Newcastle good? Probably a split between the two extremes producing the three points.
