Tottenham Hotspur scored a penalty after Son was brought down by Dubravka, giving them a 1-0 lead over a tattered Newcastle backline. A clash between players resulted in a missed booking, and yellow cards were issued for fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct. A cross-shot from Johnson went wide, and moments later, Spurs scored a second goal thanks to a cutback by Son for Richarlison to steer into the net. The crowd did not look best pleased with Newcastle’s performance as the opposing team dominates with a 2-0 lead. After the halftime break, Tottenham holds on to the lead with no new goals added before the half time mark. The second half begins with Newcastle seeking to regain control as their fatigue shows in their play.
