It ended Spurs 1 Newcastle 2.
Eddie Howe’s side making it six wins in a row.
Newcastle United having moved into the Carabao Cup semi-finals, plus now firming up their place in the Premier League top five as we have moved into 2025.
United excellent in the first-half.
Solanke scoring in the fourth minute but Gordon straight back to equalise within two minutes, before then Newcastle eventually took one of the other very good chances they were creating, Alexander Isak with the winner ahead of the break.
Disciplined and committed defending helping to see out the win in the second-half.
Interesting to see this official Match Cam footage released by the club.
Showing behind the scenes stuff, as well as excellent match action from an alternative angle, down at pitch level.
Well worth watching.
