Newcastle United secured a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a late goal clinching all three points for the visitors. The result leaves Spurs still searching for their first home win of the season.
Spurs Take the Lead Through Son
Tottenham started brightly and took the lead in the 17th minute when Son Heung-min finished calmly past Nick Pope after being played through by James Maddison. The home side dominated possession for much of the first half, with Pope making several smart saves to keep Newcastle in the game.
Newcastle grew into the match after the break, and their pressure paid off in the 63rd minute when Callum Wilson headed home from a Kieran Trippier cross. The equaliser shifted momentum, and the visitors began to create clearer chances as Spurs tired.
Late Winner Seals the Points
The winning goal came in the 84th minute when Miguel Almirón converted from close range after a scramble in the box following a corner. Tottenham pushed forward in the closing stages but could not find an equaliser, with Pope producing a late save to deny Richarlison.
The victory moves Newcastle up to fifth in the Premier League table, while Tottenham remain in mid-table after back-to-back defeats. Both teams now face a busy run of fixtures, with Spurs travelling to Arsenal next weekend and Newcastle hosting Manchester United.
