Newcastle United suffered a nightmare second half, as they slumped to a heavy defeat at Tottenham. The Magpies started brightly, with Allan Saint-Maximin winning a free-kick on the left, although Matt Targett's cross was easily defended.
Tottenham then took a grip on the game to dominate possession, although long-range efforts from Harry Kane and Eric Dier were all they had to show for their efforts. Joe Willock then did well to create a chance, but his effort was well blocked by Cristian Romero.
Eddie Howe's side grew into the match as the half wore on, and took the lead on 38 minutes through Fabian Schar. The Swiss defender fired in a free-kick which Hugo Lloris perhaps should have done better with, but the 3000 away supporters were sent into raptures.
