Tottenham were jeered off the pitch once more as Newcastle claimed a rare 2-1 away victory, piling further pressure on Spurs head coach Thomas Frank.
Match Report
Jacob Ramsey scored his first goal for the Magpies, and it proved the winner as Newcastle halted a three-game Premier League losing streak. Tottenham, meanwhile, remain without a league win in 2026.
The visitors were dominant throughout the opening half. Joe Willock thought he had broken the deadlock late on, only for the effort to be ruled out for a tight offside decision in the 44th minute.
Newcastle did take a deserved lead before the break, though. Malick Thiaw was quickest to react after Guglielmo Vicario pushed away his initial header, poking the rebound home five minutes into stoppage time.
Mathys Tel wasted a promising chance to equalise early in the second period, but Spurs — booed at half-time after failing to register a shot on target — eventually drew level in the 64th minute. Archie Gray bundled the ball in following a scramble from Xavi Simons’ corner.
That parity was short-lived. Just four minutes later, Newcastle regained the advantage as Ramsey finished coolly past Vicario after Anthony Gordon drove powerfully into the box.
Micky van de Ven later missed Tottenham’s only genuine opportunity to rescue a point as fears of being dragged into a relegation fight grew. Newcastle, by contrast, moved to within three points of the top six.
Data Debrief: Contrasting fortunes for Howe and Frank
Eddie Howe celebrated enthusiastically at full-time after recording his 136th Premier League win in his 357th match in the competition across spells with Bournemouth and Newcastle.
Among English managers, only Harry Redknapp (236) and Sam Allardyce (178) have amassed more Premier League victories.
Tottenham’s struggles continued, with the club now eight league games without a win — four draws and four defeats — their worst run since a nine-match sequence between May and October 2008 that ended Juande Ramos’ tenure.
Frank may now be concerned about a similar outcome, and Spurs could have little argument despite producing 16 shots and 1.76 expected goals, with Newcastle outperforming them on both counts with 21 attempts and 2.29 xG.
