Tottenham - Newcastle game ended really shockingly to me. I was expecting a competitive game for sure but I would never thought of a win for Newcastle here.
The first half was no different than a nightmare for Tottenham. Newcastle got 2-0 ahead already and captured a huge advantage. I wouldn't expect this to happen after seeing that Manchester United kept Newcastle at 0 goal. Tottenham should have been able to defend them well also and they should have been the side to get ahead first. Recently there is a significant amount of decrease in their performance. This is their second loss in a row and Conte need to wake his players up immediately.
This match was very competitive in my opinion, Both teams played attacking each other and in terms of ball possession Tottenham were superior to the visitors by 52 percent. In terms of the opportunities obtained by both teams, Tottenham were able to make 17 attempts with 5 on target, while Newcastle created 15 opportunities and 5 of them were on target.
Actually Tottenham played well in this match, Tottenham players immediately launched an attack from the early minutes, but were always broken by the Newcastle defense. Tottenham were not able to do much in front of Newcastle, during the game only 1 chance that managed to tear the Newcastle goal.
With these 3 points, Newcastle managed to penetrate the top 4 of the Premier League with a collection of 21 points, while Tottenham are one level above it with a difference of 2 points.
