Jonjo Shelvey and Fabian Schar return to the Newcastle squad, but there's no place in the starting XI for Bruno Guimaraes after a tiring international break. Bentancur has time on his left, edge of the area, it deflects high for a corner. Allan Saint-Maximin involved already, having won a free kick on the left that came to nothing. Saint-Maximin is back in the action and the ball comes to him straight away. It could feel chilly by the time kick off comes around. Another period of Spurs pressure sees a Kane shot hooked wide of the post inside a crowded penalty area. 15th min: It's very much one way traffic, with Spurs seeing the lion's share of possession so far. Schar stands of the ball and powers it through the wall. It's scrappy in the Spurs box as they don't get it away and Willock looks to have wriggled through on goal briefly, but Romero is across to block the midfielder's shot. Kane manages to hold it up and Spurs get going. Two away losses in quick succession are an ominous sign ahead of their trip to London, now sitting nine points above the drop. This time Emerson Royal came inside, and Kulusevski is given space to cross.

Tottenham piled the pressure on north London rivals Arsenal as they moved into the top four with a 5-1 win over Newcastle.
Has made a huge difference to the side. Some of his first-time passes were stunning. Twice had efforts on goal in the first half. Sights on goal were limited but sublime as a playmaker again. Has shown tremendous character to rebuild his Spurs career. Should have done better for the goal, only getting a weak hand to Schar’s free-kick.

Crucially, the impressive result lifted Tottenham into fourth place on goal difference over arch-rivals Arsenal. Son Heung-Min put the result beyond doubt soon after with a clinical finish, before Emerson Royal hooked home Doherty’s cross to make it four. Tottenham needed to win this game and did so in a manner that suggests the battle for fourth place, or better, is nowhere near cut and dried. It is hard to say for sure that Conte will still be at the club come next season. In fact, Tottenham did not just win, they trampled all over Eddie Howe’s side, turning a contest that was evenly balanced into a rout. Antonio Conte ’s men were then relentless after the break as Matt Doherty and Son Heung-Min found the net before Emerson Royal opened his goal-scoring account for the club.
