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.

Back under way in north London where a violent thunderstorm has broken out. Many fans have not come back out to their seats yet, in those places most exposed to the rain.
Half-time: Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle
I would like to know what was going through Lloris’s head here – why not just smash the ball downfield?
Half-time: Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle
Loud boos ring out around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the whistle blows. The odd thing is the Spurs started the half as the better side and made some good openings, and had Son taken his one-on-one with Nick Pope then this would have been a different game. But Newcastle have been excellent since then, scoring two superb goals, while Hugo Lloris has been pretty dreadful.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle (Almiron)
40 min: Sensational! Lloris makes a hash of a pass out to the left wing and Longstaff heads down to Almiron, but the rest is brilliant from the winger, wriggling into the box past Lenglet and sliding a finish under Lloris’s body.

34 min: Spurs head up the other looking for an equaliser. Sessegnon tries to cross from the left but it’s way overhit, and drifts away for a Newcastle throw.
GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Newcastle (Wilson)
31 min: What a mess! Hugo Lloris rushes out of his goal but instead of clearing the ball, he tries to take a touch with his mid-riff, bumps into Callum Wilson and falls over. Wilson chips the ball into the empty net and Newcastle celebrate. Spurs are furious and VAR is checking, but surely there’s nothing wrong with that...

29 min: Longstaff has the ball pinched in midfield and Spurs break through Kane, who dribbles towards the box and fires a low shot off, which is well saved by Nick Pope’s left big toe.
