Unstoppable Isak leads charge as Newcastle pile misery on Spurs

Newcastle came back from a goal down to claim a 2-1 away victory over Tottenham Hotspur, their sixth consecutive win in all competitions.

The pressure is now firmly on the shoulders of Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.

Dominic Solanke opened the scoring, heading home from Pedro Porro’s inch-perfect cross to make a positive impression in front of new England boss Thomas Tuchel, who was watching on from the stands.

Just three minutes later, Anthony Gordon fired into the bottom corner to net his fifth Premier League goal of the season, with VAR confirming the goal after a review for a potential handball by Joelinton.

Premier League debutant Brandon Austin was forced to pick the ball out of his for a second time in the first period when Alexander Isak tapped the ball in from close range to score in a seventh consecutive Premier League match.

Tottenham did their best to find an equaliser in the second half, but while they created many promising chances, Newcastle’s defence stood firm.

Eddie Howe’s side celebrated a precious away win, moving them level with fourth-placed Chelsea and leaving Spurs in 11th position after falling to a fourth defeat in their last 5 league games.
