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.

A fantastic win for Newcastle. A dismal week for Spurs.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

90+4 min: Perisic chops down Trippier and it’s another Newcastle free-kick. Spurs don’t look like carving out a chance...

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

90+2 min: Emerson Royal plays a terrible pass to no one and Nick Pope gets a goal-kick. Spurs running out time, and ideas.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

89 min: Emerson Royal is booked for tripping Chris Wood, and it’s so stupid – Newcastle will waste at least a minute here with the free-kick.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

86 min: Perisic crosses to Kane but the striker can’t keep his header down under pressure. Newcastle make two very slow changes: Shelvey and Wood are on for Bruno and Wilson.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

83 min: Kane picks out Bentancur running through the middle of the pitch but the midfielder’s pass to Doherty down the right is overhit, and he’s furious with himself. Nick Pope is then booked for time wasting with the goal-kick. Newcastle are churning down this clock with lots of nonsense, which is both clever and tedious.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

80 min: Newcastle are doing well to run the clock down with a series of corners and throw-ins which they are in no hurry to take. Meanwhile Spurs bring on Matt Doherty and Ben Davies for Davinson Sanchez and Clement Lenglet.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

76 min: Son swivels in the box and gets a shot away which is blocked by Newcastle’s Dan Burn. It bounces up on to the defender’s arm and the penalty appeals go up on the pitch and around the ground, but it would have been very harsh and nothing’s given.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

74 min: Jacob Murphy replaces Joe Willock in the Newcastle midfield.

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle

70 min: Newcastle corner. Trippier delivers a deep one which causes some chaos but Schar fires the subsequent loose ball a long way off target, and in fact out for a throw-in on the far side. Spurs seem to running out of ideas a little in the past five minutes or so, and their subs aren’t quite clicking.
