Where Tottenham came unstuck in 2-1 defeat to Newcastle

Ange confirmed before the game that despite training, Van De Ven wasn't 100% so he was not risked, as the Tottenham manager went with; Vicario; Porro, Dragusin, Romero, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Odobert, Maddison, Son; Kulusevski

Spurs struggled in the first 15 minutes, but an injury to the linesman broke up Newcastle's stride and once the game was restarted Ange Postecoglu's side started to create some chances, as Sarr tested Nick Pope in Newcastle's goal twice, before Porro fired over.

32 minutes in, Spurs worked a corner well and it fell to Porro right on the edge of the box but unfortunately, the ball ended up being blocked by teammate Dragusin.

However, just five minutes later, Lloyd Kelly, who Spurs could have done with for left-back and centre-back cover, cut the ball back for Harvey Barnes who finished well when well placed inside the box, and Spurs found themselves down once again at St James' Park, with the sides going into the break with the hosts one goal to the good.

At half-time, Ange introduced Johnson for Sarr, in a very offensive substitution.

Two minutes into the second half, Alexander Isak ran in behind after Romero was caught ball-watching, but Dragusin made an absolutely sublime last-ditch tackle to deny him getting a shot off.

Just a minute later, Yves Bissouma was booked for deliberately holding onto Barnes and stopping a counterattack.

After 53 minutes, Spurs had by far the best chance of the game. Johnson's cross deflected and fell to the back post, but Odobert decided not to head the ball, trying to force it in with his thigh, and missed the target from a couple of yards out.

Just a few minutes later, Spurs got their equaliser. Maddison's shot was weakly palmed to Johnson, whio's shot across goal was touched by Pope into the feet of Burn who could only divert the ball into the back of his own net.

Familiar issues occur for Tottenham Hotspur on Tyneside

After 70 minutes, Burn was caught on the ball on the edge of the box, but Odobert's shot was blocked.

With just over 15 minutes to go, a curling left footed strike was brilliantly saved by Pope. From the resulting corner, the Newcastle keeper made another save, denying Porro from the edge the box.

Werner replaced Odobert, and shorltly after Johnson did brilliantly to jinx past Burn, doing the hard work before blazing over.

For 30 minutes in the second half, Spurs had completely dominated the second half. So you just knew what was coming, one through ball from Joelinton pierced the Spurs defence, and Jacob Murphy was able to run in behind and square for Isak to tap into an empty net.

Ange responded by introducing Bergvall and Bentancur for Maddison and Bissouma. The Uruguayan midfielder was in the book within two minutes for illegally preventing a counterattack.

Spurs seriously lacked a box presence in this game. They would often work the ball into dangerous areas but the final ball wasn't there because there was nobody to get the ball into the box. Newcastle were without first-choice centre-backs Sven Botman and Fabian Schar, instead playing third-choice right-back Emil Krafth, so it feels like a really good opportunity very much wasted.

A shoutout to Johnson, who looked very likely in his 45 minutes off the bench. If other players were able to make a similar impact, we may have been looking at this game very differently.

Spurs will now go into the international break with a defeat fresh in the mind, which is incredibly frustrating. The North London derby is up next after the break
