Willock’s chance the best so far
31:00 – Tottenham having the better of things but Willock’s blocked shot the closest we’ve come to a goal thus far.
CHANCE FOR SPURS
28:00 – Cutting through ball from Bentancur sees Son in space to shoot from just inside the box but it’s a weak effort saved by Dubravka.
Tottenham deal with the free-kick
27:00 – Targett flashes the resulting free-kick into the box, with Doherty clearing at the back post.
Kane booked
26:00 – The England captain loses the ball and then drags down a breaking Saint-Maximin, duly going into the book.
Little room for Spurs
24:00 – Son almost gets in behind but Kulusevski’s ball is cut out by Burn.
Romero to the rescue
21:00 – Brilliant tackle to stop Saint-Maximin in his tracks after he drifted past Emerson Royal before the Argentine blocks Joe WIllock’s shot from close-range.
What a signing.
Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Everton and West Ham both played curiously high defensive lines against Tottenham here recently but Newcastle aren’t making the same mistakes. The Magpies are putting plenty of players behind the ball and denying Spurs space between the lines.
Saint-Maximin down
19:00 – Bentancur accidentally catches the Frenchman with an elbow to the back of the head as the Newcastle forward lines up a volley.
Looked painful.
CHANCE FOR SPURS
16:00 – Dier’s free-kick from range goes just wide.
