Newcastle United worked hard on exposing the space on offer at Tottenham's swanky stadium in the capital by watching over video clips at their Benton base last week.
And it was that attention to detail that led to the opening goal for Callum Wilson as Fabian Schar lured the experienced Hugo Lloris off his line. A long pass from Schar saw Lloris rush out before Wilson picked up the pieces to score a hotly disputed goal.
After the game Wilson said: "The ball has been played in behind for my goal and the goalie, we did our homework, we knew would rush off his line. He has chested it and dived into me. I don't feel I need to move. I have turned and finished and it has helped us get three points."
