Harvey Barnes opened the scoring for Newcastle, continuing his good form with goals in back-to-back games.
Premier League legend Michael Owen praised Barnes' finish, noting, "It is a lovely finish from Harvey Barnes. The Spurs back four just drop off and don't really pick up any men. Barnes just glides into that area and opens his body up."
Tottenham managed to level the score through an unfortunate Daniel Burn own goal, which briefly gave the visitors hope. However, PL top scorer contender Alexander Isak's late strike secured all three points for Newcastle, handing Spurs their first dropped points of the season.

The result is particularly disappointing for Tottenham's captain Heung-Min Son, who was unable to inspire his team to overcome their poor away record when trailing at the break.
For Newcastle, the victory represents a big boost for Eddie Howe and the Magpies, who rise to fourth on the table.
