#3 Spurs lacked the cutting edge upfront
Newcastle United scored an early goal against the run of play and proceeded to sit back to protect their lead. The home side could not penetrate the low-block despite their best efforts as their attackers failed to make an impression in the game.

Mauricio Pochettino opted to start with four attackers, with the likes of Harry Kane, Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son all a part of a terrorizing front-four for the home side.
Harry Kane had a meagre 24 touches and with his side chasing the game for a sizable period, the Englishman failed to deliver the goods and did not register a single shot on target.
Spurs looked to their talisman for inspiration on a night where chances were far and few, but the England captain was largely ineffective against a resolute Newcastle back-line.
Lucas Moura was involved in two of the biggest chances of the game for Spurs, as the Brazilian winger missed two big chances either side of half-time. On the balance of play, Newcastle ran out deserved winners but the home side lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.
