Tottenham vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result and final score as visitors continue hot streak
Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle: Goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon earned the visitors a comeback win on the road
Newcastle United won a fifth consecutive game to pile the misery on Tottenham Hotspur as Eddie Howe’s side came from behind to beat their depleted hosts.
Spurs were missing a host of first-time players due to injury or illness but Dominic Solanke gave them an early lead in front of on-looking England manager Thomas Tuchel.
But it was quickly cancelled out by Anthony Gordon, much to the fury of Ange Postecoglou after the ball struck off the arm of Newcastle midfielder Joelinton in the build-up.
Newcastle took control and Alexander Isak continued his red-hot form as he poked in at the back post to score for the seventh Premier League game in a row and give the visitors a deserved lead.
Tottenham improved and were the better team after half-time, as Heung-min Son and James Maddison were called from the bench, but Newcastle held on to climb into fifth place in the Premier League table.
Tottenham remain 11th, with just one win from their last eight, but could drop further by the end of the weekend after suffering a 10th league defeat of the season. Follow all the reaction below

90+3 mins: CLOSE! Brilliant effort from Solanke to throw himself at Kulusevski’s cross. Dubravka has to tip it over the bar.
Newcastle missed the chance to run the clock down and Spurs broke quickly. Tottenham have been the better team in the second half, despite the absences.

90 mins: WOAH.
10 minutes added time! And as if by clockwork, Sven Botman goes down with cramp. He’s not played much recently, to be fair. The centre-back will be replaced by Lloyd Kelly for the final 10.

89 mins: Tottenham could probably learn a thing or two from what Newcastle have just done here - Eddie Howe’s side have taken a couple of minutes away and slowed the game down with stoppages or changes.
Spurs were enjoying a good spell.

85 mins: Isak looks puzzled at being asked to come off but he is replaced by Joe Willock. Newcastle briefly down to 10 men while Dan Burn receives treatment.

82 mins: WHAAAT. How have Tottenham not scored here?! The pressure from Spurs continues and Newcastle’s defending is desperate. Johnson and Reguilon thrash shots across the face but there’s no touch on the end of it. Newcastle escape but I’m not sure how.
Tottenham play Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, which must explain why Son and Maddison did not start. They’ve made such a difference after coming on.

81 mins: CLOSE! Oooof. Almost a glorious goal from Maddison. Spurs take the corner short and Maddison whips a shot towards the back post. It’s not far.

78 mins: Joelinton is forced off and is replaced by Harvey Barnes. Newcastle need to find a way to regain some control of midfield. Maddison draws a foul on the edge of the box and it gives Tottenham a free-kick in a dangerous position.

75 mins: Tottenham are ramping up the pressure now Maddison and Son are on the pitch. Burn is forced to clear Son’s cross then Porro’s shot is blocked by Tonali.
Dubravka has not been worked too much but has to be sharp to get off his line and pounce on Kulusevksi.
