A fuming Ange Postecoglou said his depleted Tottenham side would have beaten Newcastle had the match taken place on a “an even and fair playing ground” after the visitors scored a controversial equaliser in their 2-1 win.
Spurs remain with just one win in eight Premier League games after Newcastle came from behind to climb into fifth in the table. The hosts were without several first-team players due to illness or injury and were forced to field a second-choice defence and third-choice goalkeeper, but battled well and had chances to claim a point late on.
