Newcastle United claimed a crucial 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in a match that showcased their resilience and clinical finishing. The Magpies took the lead through Malick Thiaw's close-range header from Joe Willock's cross just before halftime, but Spurs responded after the break when Archie Gray converted from Pape Matar Sarr's assist following a corner. However, Newcastle's immediate response proved decisive - Jacob Ramsey firing home from Anthony Gordon's assist just four minutes later to restore their advantage. The match was notable for several simulation bookings, with both Pape Matar Sarr and Xavi Simons cautioned for diving, while Newcastle's experience and composure in the final stages helped them secure three valuable points.
