Jarrod Bowen returned with a bang as West Ham inflicted more away-day pain on Everton with a 2-1 victory. The striker, back after a month out with a foot injury, hit his 13th goal of the season to floor Frank Lampard. West Ham led through Aaron Cresswell’s spectacular free-kick but were pegged back by Mason Holgate’s deflected effort.

Toffees boss Lampard had questioned his players’ bottle – or words to that effect – after they capitulated at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup last time out, but they folded again just five minutes after equalising when Bowen struck. To compound Lampard’s misery they finished the match with 10 men after captain Michael Keane was sent off.

The travel-sick Toffees still boast the worst away record in the country and are only one place above the drop zone in what has been a torrid season. Follow reaction from a crucial clash at both ends of the table at the London Stadium:

36’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Joelinton and Willock combine on the edge of the box and Son takes down the latter on the edge of the box.

Decent shooting chance for the Magpies...

32’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Newcastle have weathered that early spell of possession from the hosts and are now earning themselves a few attacks too.

Shelvey’s attempted crossfield ball to Saint-Maximin almost looks like it could open Spurs up, but he slips and it’s through to Lloris.

Just a few more spaces now opening up in the middle of the pitch - and Hojbjerg breaks forward to head just over the bar.

26’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Burn reaches a corner but his header lacks any power. In then trying to recover the ball, which has bounced out of the box, he simply barges Romero out of the way and gives away a free-kick. Spurs play out quicky from their own half and it ends in a shot from Son - it’s weak, and Dubravka saves.

Nice play from Bentancur, Kulusevski wanted it off Son.

22’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Willock turns in the box as Newcastle finally find a way into the attacking half of the pitch, but his strike is blocked by a brilliant recovery lunge from Romero. Excellent from the centre-back.

Son now turns with space to move into for Spurs, but his choice of pass isn’t the best and Newcastle can again recover.

18’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Eric Dier curls a free-kick at goal from about 30 yards out. It looks excitingly close, as it smashes the support post behind the goal, but it’s not really. A good three yards wide or so.

Dubravka not bothered.

Saint-Maximin and Bentancur collide in the middle of the park and the Newcastle man needs some attention.

14’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

As a good example of the flow of the match so far, Ryan Fraser has had one touch after 14 minutes.

Harry Kane spins on the edge of the box to shoot, but doesn’t quite connect properly and the ball drifts away off-target.

Spurs still very much in the ascendency, but it’s all perhaps slightly too slow to unduly trouble Newcastle just yet.

8’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Spurs putting some sustained pressure on the Newcastle defence now, Bentancur and Kulusevski both picking the ball up quickly after possession is lost to not allow the visitors any chance to break out of their deep block.

Kane and Son haven’t been too prominent yet, but it’s early days. Newcastle needing to stay concentrated.

4’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

Newcastle made a few early probes into attacking areas, but Spurs have quickly gained a foothold with possession and playing through the thirds. Both wing-backs are getting plenty of the ball, Dier and Bentancur keen to switch the direction of play whenever possible.

Kulusevski is looking to get involved as much as possible too.

Kick-off! Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle

We are underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs looking to go fourth, Newcastle looking to move one place up to 14th if they win.

Newcastle tight at the back

Eddie Howe has tightened Newcastle up at the back since taking over as boss.

The Magpies haven't conceded more than once in any of their last 11 Premier League games and shipped only eight goals in that time.

They did lose their final two games before the international break - against Chelsea and Everton - but only by a 1-0 scoreline with the winning goals being scored in the 89th and 90th minutes.
