However, Anthony Gordon equalized shortly after, a goal that sparked controversy as the ball appeared to strike Joelinton’s arm in the build-up.

The Independent reports that Newcastle’s Alexander Isak continued his remarkable form, netting for the seventh consecutive Premier League game with a decisive finish at the back post.

Although Tottenham improved after the break, with Heung-min Son and James Maddison introduced from the bench, Newcastle held firm to climb to fifth place in the league standings.

Spurs, meanwhile, remain 11th with just one win in their last eight matches and face the possibility of falling further down the table by the weekend’s conclusion.
