Antonio Conte makes draw claim after Spurs boss only saw 'one team' before Newcastle scored

Antonio Conte has claimed that a draw would have been a 'fair result' after his Spurs side were defeated by high-flying Newcastle United.

Newcastle moved into the top four following a superb 2-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday evening. The Magpies, in the process, became the first team to beat Spurs in their own backyard since April after leaving the hosts with a mountain to climb at half-time.

Nick Pope did have to make two smart stops to keep out both Son heung-Min and Harry Kane inside the opening half-hour, but fearless Newcastle took the lead, themselves, in the 31st minute after Callum Wilson lobbed the ball into the net from outside the box following a collision with goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Miguel Almiron then doubled his side's advantage just before the break with a brilliant run and finish.
