Tottenham vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result and final score
Spurs welcomed Newcastle for a Premier League encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium
Newcastle United produced their biggest result of an already impressive season with a deserved 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur to move into the Premier League’s top four on Sunday.
First-half goals by Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron -- both aided by mistakes from Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris -- put Newcastle in control after Tottenham had started brightly.
Wilson chipped the opener into an unguarded net after 31 minutes and Almiron scored from a tight angle in the 40th.
Harry Kane’s 10th league goal of the season early in the second half suggested third-placed Tottenham could mount a comeback but they huffed and puffed without much quality as Newcastle held firm to claim the three points.
Newcastle’s fans celebrated noisily as Eddie Howe’s side, who have lost only once in their opening 12 matches, moved into the Champions League places with 21 points.
Tottenham’s best start to a top-flight season since the 1963-64 campaign has now had a harsh reality check with back-to-back defeats. They stay third with 23 points from 12 games.

65 min: Brilliant tracking by Joelinton who stops a marauding Bentancur from launching a very threatening counter. Spurs make another change as Lucas Moura replaces Oliver Skipp. This looks like a shift in shape, perhaps to a 3-4-3.

63 min: Son swings a corner out of play and back in again. Goal-kick. That feels like a big waste when a goal down with half an hour to play.

61 min: Ryan Sessegnon has been replaced by Ivan Perisic for Spurs at left wingback.

59 min: Newcastle take their time over a free-kick, slowly filling the box with players and letting the clock tick down. The set-piece comes to nothing but that’s a minute burned.

No offside given, as VAR couldn’t work out whether or not Davinson Sanchez touched the ball on the way through to Kane. I think he did with his shoulder, but it was hard to be certain and so VAR was probably right not to intervene.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle (Kane)
53 min: Spurs are back in it! They race up the other end on the counter and win a corner, which is flicked on for Harry Kane to tap in at the back post with a stopping header. Ten goals now this season for Kane... Though VAR is checking for offside here.
Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle
51 min: Brilliant run down the right by Longstaff, whose cross picks out Joelinton at the back post. His header is blocked by the arm of Emerson Royal and Newcastle cry penalty, but nothing is doing and VAR is unmoved too.
