Newcastle United secured a comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, thanks to the contributions of Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak, who scored their fifth consecutive goal.
Newcastle maintained their lead throughout the second half, despite Spurs’ numerous missed opportunities, despite Dominic Solanke’s goal giving the host team the lead.
On Saturday afternoon, Newcastle United secured a tight 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, with Alexander Isak scoring the winning goal. Spurs, who were struck by injury, were obliged to engage in a match against a team that had an average age of under 24. This was the youngest Tottenham lineup in a decade.
Before he could meet Pedro Porro’s enticing cross with a diving header, Dominic Solanke ghosted around his marker. Just two minutes later, the Magpies equalized with a contentious goal, with allegations that the ball deflected off Joelinton’s palm during the preparation phase before Anthony Gordon scored.
Newcastle exerted control over the first half, and the decisive goal was scored on the 20th minute when Isak was in the appropriate position to convert Jacob Murphy’s enticing pass. Spurs unleashed an array of offensive strategies against their opponents in the second half, and Solanke threatened twice with headers.
Brennan Johnson’s shot from a close angle also struck the post, and substitute James Maddison’s dangerous attempt was sent agonizingly wide. Nevertheless, Newcastle’s sixth consecutive victory in all competitions maintained their prospects of finishing in the top four, a testament to their resolute defensive performance.
Prior to their subsequent Premier League match against Arsenal in eleven days, Postecoglou anticipates that several of his injured players will be eligible to return. Additionally, Newcastle will endeavor to secure a top-four position by playing at home against Bournemouth and Wolves.
