Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle United

Ayoze Perez's first goal for Newcastle proved to be the winner

• Magpies secure their first away league win since March

• Tottenham with one win in seven matches

• Ameobi scores within seconds of the restart

• Perez scores first goal for club

Newcastle battled back from a goal down to beat Tottenham and ease the pressure further on manager Alan Pardew.

Some fans had called for his sacking in recent weeks, but he made two half-time changes which helped turned the game in Newcastle's favour after they had gone behind to Emmanuel Adebayor's header.

Winger Sammy Ameobi fired in within 10 seconds of the restart.

And then fellow substitute Remy Cabella provided the cross for Ayoze Perez to head in his first goal for the club.

That effort for the Spain Under-21 international marked an exceptional 13-minute turnaround for his club, who never looked like threatening Spurs in a lacklustre first-half display.

They needed an injection of energy from somewhere and Pardew provided it in the form of Ameobi and summer signing Cabella.

Straight from the restart, the ball was played back to midfielder Jack Colback who floated forward a brilliant ball for Ameobi down the left. The younger brother of ex-Magpies forward Shola eased past marker Eric Dier before crashing in from the angle.

The home support inside White Hart Lane were stunned and things got worse for them in the 58th minute when playmaker Cabella dug out a cross from the left for Perez to head in. The Spaniard only knew he would be getting his first start just before kick-off after it was announced Papiss Cisse was injured.

This was Newcastle's second victory of the season and second in succession after defeating Leicester last week, and it takes them out of the bottom three.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will rue not securing their fourth win this season, having controlled the game in the opening period.

However, despite dominating possession, Mauricio Pochettino's men created few outstanding opportunities and their only effort on goal resulted in Adebayor's opener.

It came in the 18th minute when the Togo forward took advantage of some haphazard Magpies defending in the lead-up to nod in at the far post from Ryan Mason's delivery.

It is now only one win in seven league games for Spurs - for a team expected to be challenging for a European spot, a worrying statistic.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew:

"We were giving too much possession to Tottenham, too much space.

"We never made a challenge and we were fortunate to come in a 1-0, so I reminded them about the fundamentals of a Premier League game and we came out with a much stronger attitude.

"I thought [in the] second half, the players were magnificent."
