Newcastle United are sitting pretty fourth in the Premier League table after beating Tottenham 2-1 today.
Newcastle United are still without Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin, but they didn’t appear to miss either of them today.
Callum Wilson got Newcastle United off to a great start. He came together with Hugo Lloris and despite protests from Lloris, the goal was allowed.

For Tottenham, it’s not the result they were hoping for. They were third in the league with a chance to close the gap on the top two. Conte will be keen to solve the issues that were evident throughout the game.
