Eddie Howe determined to turn Spurs defeat into a 'good thing' as Newcastle receive wake-up call

Eddie Howe hopes that Newcastle United will be able to look back on their heavy defeat at Spurs as a "good thing" after experiencing a wake up call in the capital. Having gone 1-0 up focus and concentration slipped away after the break on what was the toughest afternoon of 2022 so far for United.

The Magpies now head back to Tyneside and face three consecutive home matches, starting with Wolves on Friday night. Howe said: "We were 1-0 up and executing a good plan.

"We were controlling them as best we could. We did the first part of the game well. The second goal is the key thing. It’s what we didn’t need to do. We chased the game in a way you can’t against this time of team.
