It’s important to remember that six of Newcastle’s starters played under Steve Bruce. It serves to highlight the incredible job Eddie Howe has done with improving those he inherited.

Newcastle are arguably more dangerous when Spurs are attacking. That is another goal on the transition and, again, it was Son giving the ball away. And that’s it for the South Korean, who has now been subbed. He’s had a torrid afternoon.

The Newcastle bench thought that goal must have been offside, such was how comfortably Isak raced clear.
Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall immediately went back to check a monitor before they celebrated. But Tindall was soon punching the air after replays showed Isak was in his own half when the ball was played.

Van der Ven’s nightmare
‘Wouldn’t be surprised if Spurs fans leave early…again’
On the train up from London, Spurs supporters were asking each other how long they thought they would last inside St James’ Park this time around.
Well, such was their side’s sorry showing in the first 45 minutes, you wouldn’t be surprised if some gave up early again and headed to the Newcastle bars.
WATCH: Two quickfire goals for Geordies
‘Van de Ven had a shocker for both goals’
34% of ball but Newcastle have been incisive & quick with it, unlike Spurs. Gordon brilliant & Isak could have had 4. Deserved lead.
Van de Ven shocker for both goals & team far too slow in attack. Werner looks like the Chelsea version.
HALF-TIME: Newcastle 2-0 Spurs
TWO added minutes
Newcastle 2-0 Spurs
Anthony Gordon watched his goal back on the big screen and it looked like he enjoyed it. This could be 5-0.
To think, Isak had only three touches inside the opening 25 minutes. He could have had five goals since!

As is customary these days at St James’ Park, a new banner was displayed in the Gallowgate End before kick-off.
It was a quote from Sean Longstaff, the Geordie heartbeat of this Newcastle team. ‘I love representing the city. Representing the people that are me.’
Newcastle fans will be hoping for a special performance from one of their own today.

KICK-OFF: Newcastle 0-0 Spurs
Here come the teams
Eddie Howe: ‘Crowd will back us’
We have picked a versatile team. When you play Tottenham they are tactically interesting, we have picked a versatile team that can match up to Tottenham very well.
Spurs stick to what they do [well]. Their rotations are very good and regardless of the formation we have to be adaptable, then of course on the ball we have to do what we have to do.”
You have to get them [supporters] into the game and have a good attitude, entertain them – the crowd will back us as they always do.
Goals incoming?
Will both sides get Europe?
Ange Postecoglou: ‘It is going to be a high-energy game’
We’re in the best position we have been in, apart from the first ten games, in terms of a squad and being able to rotate players.
Rodi [Rodrigo Bentancur] will be good today, he is getting back to his levels where he can break teams open with his running – we are going to need it.
I’ve got a feeling we are going to need more than the guys who are starting today in midfield because it is going to be a high-energy game.
Final preparations for Spurs
Clubs pay respects to Joe Kinnear
One-off shirt for Newcastle
Will Spurs secure a top-four finish?
‘Bench a concern for Newcastle’
I said this before Everton last week, but the bench would be my concern from a Newcastle perspective. Games now are won and lost with 15/16 players, not 11. And Newcastle (again) have very little to turn to in reserve.
Atmosphere building
Isak to wreak more havoc on Spurs?

Eddie Howe: ‘6-1 was a special game for us’
That was a special game for us, everything clicked. We were devastating in attack, we were ruthless. One of those days you get rarely in football where everything went our way.
This is a totally different Tottenham team now. I admire them tactically, and physically, I think Ange [Postecoglou] deserves big credit with how his philosophy has been implemented and with the speed it has.
A day Geordies will never forget
Ange Postecoglou: ‘This year has been tough on Newcastle’
Certainly, there is a cautionary tale there that getting into the Champions League also means greater demands.
Demands on players, demands on the squad and you have to be geared up for it or else it can affect all parts of your season.
It has been tough on Newcastle this year because the progress last year was fantastic, the reward for that was the Champions League and this year for whatever reason it has made it a really challenging season on all fronts for them.
A happy hunting ground for Spurs…usually
