Tottenham coasted to a comfortable 4-1 win over Newcastle as Ange Postecoglou’s side ended their five-match winless run.
Goals from Destiny Udogie and Richarlison saw the home side ahead at the break after a relentless display against the injury-ravaged visitors.
Richarlison added a third after the break before Son Heung-Min got in the act from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Martin Dubravka.
Joelinton’s injury-time finish secured a consolation goal for Eddie Howe’s side who remain seventh after two back-to-back defeats.

48 mins: A positive start from Newcastle after the break as Trippier surges down the right. It’s a well-time interception from Udogie, though, to prevent the cross.
KICK-OFF! Tottenham 2-0 Newcastle
No changes for either side at the break as Spurs get us back underway.
HALF-TIME: Tottenham 2-0 Newcastle
Newcastle have it all to do after the break but their record this season isn’t great. They’ve trailed on three occasions this season at half-time and have failed to win each time.
Spurs, though, have lost each of the last two games in which they have led at half-time.
Something has to give.

Let’s take a look at the two first-half goals, then. Udogie got the scoring underway with his first Spurs goal...
Before Richarlison scored a carbon copy to double their lead later in the half...

The home side in control at the break:
HALF-TIME: Tottenham 2-0 Newcastle
The referee brings an end to the first half and it’s been a perfect one for the home side. Goals from Udogie and Richarlison have them well in charge as they head down the tunnel.
Newcastle have been second-best for large periods of that half and will need to be far better after the break if they are to salvage something from this encounter.

45+2 mins: Into the second of three added minutes to end the first half as Trippier whips in a corner from the right-hand side. The ball pops to Lascelles at the back post but the Newcastle captain can’t control it and Spurs clear.

44 mins: CLOSE! Even closer to a third as Spurs pour numbers forward on the break. Kulusveski’s deflected cross pops up in the air but Richarlison can’t quite figure out the flight of the ball and the chance goes begging.

41 mins: Spurs are piling on the pressure and Johnson’s fizzing shot comes close to a third for the home side. Just wide, though.
