Tottenham vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result and final score

Spurs welcomed Newcastle for a Premier League encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium

Conte laughs off "title contenders" tag and admits Tottenham were not ready for "a war."

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.

Tottenham vs Newcastle: Preview

Having been defeated 2-0 by Manchester United during the week Antonio Conte’sTottenham face another difficult assignment when they host Newcastle United this afternoon. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle are in a rich vein of form having not lost in the Premier League since the end of August with their 1-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday the latest impressive result for the Northeast side.

Spurs started the weekend third in the table level on points with Manchester City and four points behind leaders Arsenal. Conte’s men looked to be moving in the right direction following wins over Brighton, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Everton but they were woefully swept aside by United last time out and need to put in a performance today to get back on track.

Newcastle, meanwhile, will be harbouring their own thoughts about a top four challenge. Unbeaten in six – three wins, three draws - and getting the best out of players like Joelinton and Miguel Almiron, Eddie Howe’s side boast the best defensive record in the league having conceded just nine goals in 11 matches. The started the week sixth in the table and don’t look out of place against the teams around them such as Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Full-time scores

A big result at the top of the table as Arsenal are held at Southampton. That leaves the Gunners with a two-point lead over Manchester City at the summit, and Spurs now have a chance to close the gap. Elsewhere, a disappointing defeat for Leeds surely leaves Jesse Marsch in peril as the man in charge at Elland Road, while the sacking of Steven Gerrard appears to have had a big effect on Aston Villa, and Leicester are continuing to bounce back from their terrible start to the season.

Aston Villa 4-0 Brentford

Leeds 2-3 Fulham
