After taking the lead through Joelinton, Newcastle faced an uphill battle to protect their lead against Spurs' feared front-four of Harry Kane, Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela and Son Heung-Min. Despite their best efforts, the home side failed to score on the night as Newcastle registered an unexpected victory.

The fact that the Magpies kept a clean sheet against last season's Champions League finalists is a testament to how well they defended on the night.

Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles and Paul Dummett started at the heart of the defence for the Tyneside club and the trio played out of their skins to registered a morale-boosting victory against a top-six side.

Steve Bruce's side came into the clash fresh from a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Norwich City but their performance on the night was in stark contrast to last weekend's defeat against the newly-promoted side.
