Newcastle receive top-four boost as Tottenham suffer injury setback after Manchester City win

Tottenham will be without captain Hugo Lloris for at least six weeks after the goalkeeper picked up a knee injury in the victory over Manchester City. Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game against the defending champions to close the gap to Newcastle United to one point in the race for the top four.
