Joshua Worrall: When Spurs had serial winners like Antonio Conte & Jose Mourinho as manager - they complained about the style of football & demanded front footed, attacking play. Postecoglou coaching exactly that, but football is a results business. Catch 22.

Image source, ReutersTottenham can consider themselves lucky with the score after the openings which Newcastle have had. Radu Dragusin is having a sticky time.
He is meant to be a leader, but he has played two balls out of play and played one ball straight to Alexander Isak.
When Dragusin gets on the ball the fans are very nervous.

This is the first time Newcastle have come from behind to lead at half-time in a Premier League away match since May 2013 against QPR (2-1).

After all the nonsense about Man Utd, does this mean Spurs are in a relegation battle??

Ange Postecoglou marches down the tunnel as Andy Madley blows for half-time. Newcastle could - and should - be further ahead.

Gotta feel sorry for Brandon Austin. It’s never easy as a keeper make your Premier League debut. Let alone for an Ange-ball team with the lack of defensive stability. And even more so with this specifically depleted defence in front of him.

Newcastle continue to dominate as four additional minutes are signalled at the end of the first half.

And another chance for Newcastle...wide by Joelinton.
Half-time cannot come soon enough for Spurs.
Big team talk needed from Ange Postecoglou who has to do something as Spurs teeter on the brink of a 10th Premier League defeat of the season.

Newcastle look like they could score every time they go forward.

There are so very unhappy faces as the TV camera zooms in on home fans.
Another chance for Newcastle and Anthony Gordon's attempt comes of a Spurs player for a corner.
The home side are being picked apart.

This can't go on. Ange has to go now.

Image source, EPAThe way Ange Postecoglou has got Spurs playing...they're so open.
When those transition moments happen it is hard for them to get into their shape.

A real test of character for Tottenham now.
They've shipped 17 goals in their last four-and-a-half games at home.

It's been coming.
Newcastle have played some good football. Dragusin gets a slight touch, but it goes onto Isak so it will be Isak's goal.
Alexander Isak

Newcastle come from behind to take the lead as Alexander Isak taps home his 13th Premier League goal of the season.
It comes after another delivery by Jacob Murphy - his seventh league assist this campaign.

Spurs getting absolutely bullied by everyone they play but the fans all crying about a ball to hand that is never a handball in a month of Sundays - maybe they should be more focused on the state of their own team.

Newcastle have started to control the game a bit more.
Newcastle look like the side who could get the goal. It was excellent interplay between Jacob Murphy and Sandro Tonali.
Murphy rolled it across into the corridor of uncertainty.
Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle
Now a chance for Alexander Isak!
Another lovely delivery into the Spurs penalty area but Isak puts it agonisingly wide.

Lots for Thomas Tuchel to digest on his first scouting mission as England boss. Goals by Dominic Solanke and Anthony Gordon. Will they figure in his first Three Lions squad in March?

Having been unbeaten in five consecutive home league games against Arsenal between 1982 and 2020 (W4 D1), Brighton have now lost three of their last four against the Gunners (D1).
Arsenal have won three of their last five Premier League games against Brighton (D1 L1), as many as they had in their first 10 against the Seagulls in the competition (D3 L4).
Brighton haven’t lost their first league game in any of the last eight calendar years (W3 D5), since a 1-0 home loss to Wolves on New Year’s Day 2016 in the Championship.
Brighton and Hove Albion scored just 21 goals at the Amex in the Premier League in 2024, a drop of 25 goals from 2023 when they scored 46. They failed to score in six home games in 2024, having only failed to score in one in 2023.
No side won more points in the Premier League in 2024 than Arsenal (85). Their 26 wins were their most in one year since 2004 (also 26), their 89 goals were their most since 1963 (112) and their 18 clean sheets were their most since 1999 (19).
Brighton and Hove Albion have drawn their last three Premier League games and are winless in seven (D5 L2). The Seagulls haven’t drawn four league games in a row since October 2014 in the Championship under Sami Hyypia.
In their first 19 Premier League games under Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton have drawn nine times (W6 L4). Only three managers have drawn 10 of their first 20 games in the Premier League – John Lyall in 1992 (11), John Deehan in 1994 (10) and Egil Olsen in 1999 (10).
Kai Havertz has scored in each of his last four Premier League games against Brighton, netting in all three against the Seagulls so far for Arsenal.
Bukayo Saka was directly involved in 28 Premier League goals for Arsenal in 2024 (15 goals, 13 assists), the most by a Gunners player in a single year since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in 2018 (23 goals, 7 assists). Saka’s 13 assists were the most for Arsenal in a year since Mesut Özil assisted 20 goals in 2015.
Since the start of last season, João Pedro has more Premier League goals and assists combined than any other Brighton player (13 goals, 8 assists) – his 13 goals are the most, while his eight assists are bettered only by the now departed Pascal Groß (10).
