Tottenham 1 Newcastle 2 - United are back! Just look at that Premier League table nufc
The thing is as well, Newcastle United ABSOLUTELY deserved this.
NUFC by far the better team, Spurs had a bit of pressure early on and a few shots dealt with well by Nick Pope…however, for the final two thirds of the match or more it was Newcastle United in the ascendancy.An absolutely brilliant job done, both today and indeed, ever since he arrived to try and clear up the carnage left by the shameful Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce.
This was Premier League match number 39 for Eddie Howe at Newcastle and yet again, despite playing away to one of the self-appointed elite, the NUFC Head Coach went with the very brave high press. As I say, early on Spurs had some joy breaking through the lines, but struggled more and more as the game went on, whilst pressing so high paid massive dividends up front. Indeed, both goals came due to United playing so high on the pitch and pressing the opposition.
It was a real team effort as always though and what a fabulous sight the usual group photo was, after the final whistle.Newcastle United now face Aston Villa , Southampton and Chelsea before breaking for the World Cup .
