HALF-TIME: Newcastle 2-0 Spurs
TWO added minutes
Newcastle 2-0 Spurs
Anthony Gordon watched his goal back on the big screen and it looked like he enjoyed it. This could be 5-0.
To think, Isak had only three touches inside the opening 25 minutes. He could have had five goals since!

As is customary these days at St James’ Park, a new banner was displayed in the Gallowgate End before kick-off.
It was a quote from Sean Longstaff, the Geordie heartbeat of this Newcastle team. ‘I love representing the city. Representing the people that are me.’
Newcastle fans will be hoping for a special performance from one of their own today.

KICK-OFF: Newcastle 0-0 Spurs
Here come the teams
Eddie Howe: ‘Crowd will back us’
We have picked a versatile team. When you play Tottenham they are tactically interesting, we have picked a versatile team that can match up to Tottenham very well.
Spurs stick to what they do [well]. Their rotations are very good and regardless of the formation we have to be adaptable, then of course on the ball we have to do what we have to do.”
You have to get them [supporters] into the game and have a good attitude, entertain them – the crowd will back us as they always do.
Goals incoming?
Will both sides get Europe?
Ange Postecoglou: ‘It is going to be a high-energy game’
We’re in the best position we have been in, apart from the first ten games, in terms of a squad and being able to rotate players.
Rodi [Rodrigo Bentancur] will be good today, he is getting back to his levels where he can break teams open with his running – we are going to need it.
I’ve got a feeling we are going to need more than the guys who are starting today in midfield because it is going to be a high-energy game.
Final preparations for Spurs
Clubs pay respects to Joe Kinnear
One-off shirt for Newcastle
Will Spurs secure a top-four finish?
‘Bench a concern for Newcastle’
I said this before Everton last week, but the bench would be my concern from a Newcastle perspective. Games now are won and lost with 15/16 players, not 11. And Newcastle (again) have very little to turn to in reserve.
Atmosphere building
Isak to wreak more havoc on Spurs?

Eddie Howe: ‘6-1 was a special game for us’
That was a special game for us, everything clicked. We were devastating in attack, we were ruthless. One of those days you get rarely in football where everything went our way.
This is a totally different Tottenham team now. I admire them tactically, and physically, I think Ange [Postecoglou] deserves big credit with how his philosophy has been implemented and with the speed it has.
A day Geordies will never forget
Ange Postecoglou: ‘This year has been tough on Newcastle’
Certainly, there is a cautionary tale there that getting into the Champions League also means greater demands.
Demands on players, demands on the squad and you have to be geared up for it or else it can affect all parts of your season.
It has been tough on Newcastle this year because the progress last year was fantastic, the reward for that was the Champions League and this year for whatever reason it has made it a really challenging season on all fronts for them.
A happy hunting ground for Spurs…usually
Newcastle seek to shock Spurs
