Newcastle United Clinches Thrilling Victory Over Tottenham

Newcastle United triumphed over Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, thanks to a winning goal by Alexander Isak. Despite Spurs controlling much of the game, Newcastle's quick counter-attacks proved decisive. The match also marked Sandro Tonali's return after a ban, receiving warm applause from the fans.

Newcastle United's striker Alexander Isak secured a 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur with a simple tap-in as they weathered a second-half storm from the visitors to secure the points in an entertaining Premier League clash at St James' Park on Sunday.

Harvey Barnes' first-half opener for Newcastle was cancelled out by a Dan Burn own goal after the break as Spurs dominated the chances in the second period but spurned numerous openings and were beaten by a lightning-quick break from the hosts.

Joelinton's defence-splitting pass was perfect for Jacob Murphy who, after drawing out keeper Guglielmo Vicario, laid the ball on a plate for Isak to secure the three points for manager Eddie Howe's side, who remain unbeaten at home since January. Adding to Newcastle's delight, their Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali made his first league appearance since being handed a 10-month ban for a breach of betting rules and received a rapturous reception from the home supporters.
