Your support makes all the difference.Son Heung-Min scored his second goal in four days as Tottenham eventually saw off battling Newcastle 1-0 at Wembley and leapfrogged Manchester City into second place in the Premier League.
Just when it looked like Spurs might register their first draw this season, Son fired an 83rd-minute shot from outside the area which somehow crept under goalkeeper Martin Dubravka to put them four points behind Liverpool who play on Monday.
It was Son's ninth goal in his past 10 appearances for Tottenham and a cruel blow for Newcastle who looked to have done enough to earn a point before the keeper's howler.

90+4 mins: Spurs 1 - 0 Newcastle
Tottenham close out the match. It was a hard fought contest with Spurs having to attack time and time again.
Newcastle's defence was really solid but a mistake by Dubravka is the difference between the two sides.
Tottenham move up to second in the Premier League!
