Tottenham’s dismal run of form and ongoing selection crisis both worsened again as they blew another home lead to lose narrowly 2-1 to Newcastle.
In their first Premier League fixture of 2025, struggling Spurs delivered a spirited second-half display against one of the division’s most in-form sides but were unable to prevent another demoralising defeat after Dominic Solanke’s early header was cancelled out quickly and controversially by Anthony Gordon, with Alexander Isak then striking what proved to be the winning goal before half-time.
