Callum Wilson gave Newcastle the lead in the first half after winning the ball from Hugo Lloris and chipping it into the net.
Miguel Almiron then doubled the visitors’ lead just before half-time with a fine solo goal to take his tally to six for the season as Newcastle went in at the break 2-0 ahead.
But Spurs did respond after the break as Harry Kane quickly headed them back into the game to make it 2-1.

5. Dan Burn - 7
Was tidy down the left side and had to be alert positionally given Spurs’ pace and movement in the final third.
6. Bruno Guimaraes - 7
Deserves praise for his commitment to the cause so soon after the birth of his son. Showed a few glimpses of class but not at his influential best.

8. Miguel Almiron - 8
Scored his sixth goal of the season in style and kept hounding the Spurs defence throughout.
