    Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino on Harry Kane reaching 30 goals this season: "It's fantastic, congratulations to him because he deserves this moment, it's historic, the first time since Gary Lineker in 1992. I think he needs to pay for a dinner this week for his team-mates. The team work a lot and try and help the striker score."

    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to Sky Sports: "Our performance was good. We deserved then win as we were better than Newcastle.

    "We need to be happy today.

    "We are recovering our good feeling. It is important because we are in a position where we can fight for something until the end of the season.

    "I got angry after we conceded a goal. We made big mistakes but after that the team reacted very well. Maybe it was good we conceded a goal early.

    "It's very important to finish the season on a good level and then we have to analyse."

    Hats off to Harry Kane. England's newest star today became the first Tottenham striker to score 30 goals in a season since Gary Lineker in 1991-92. He's got five more games to add to that as well.

  6. Player reactionpublished at 17:58 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane: "We deserved it today. We played well. We've had some disappointing performances in the last couple of weeks and we wanted to put that right.

    "I had a couple of chances and the keeper made some good saves but I'm delighted to get back on the scoresheet."

    Asked about the first Spurs player to reach the 30 mark since Gary Lineker, he added: "I'm very proud but there are five games left and, hopefully, I'll get a few more goals."

    It has been a bad day all-round for fifth-placed Liverpool. Not only did they lose the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa but Manchester City won to move seven points ahead of them in fourth and Tottenham have gone level on points with them with this victory.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 17:49 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Spurs' push for Europe continues. Newcastle's fears of relegation remain. Boos from the home fans (the ones who are left in the ground) greet the whistle. The mood was bad here before kick-off. This will only make it worse.

    Three minutes of added time have been added. It won't make a difference. Tottenham are winning this game and Newcastle are slipping to a sixth straight defeat.

    "Newcastle put everybody forward in search of the equaliser and left themselves totally exposed at the back. As soon as you saw him bearing down on goal you knew Harry Kane was never going to miss that."

    Game over. Harry Kane has the final say with his 30th goal of the season, which also matches the 20 Premier League tally Sergio Aguero brought up for Manchester City earlier. Spurs break away and Erik Lamela plays ball to Kane on the charge and he makes no mistake with a side-foot finish past Tim Krul.

  12. Postpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Sammy Ameobi looks to salvage something for Newcastle with a driving run down the left and a low cross that is cleared by Tottenham.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Paulinho is replaced by Ryan Mason as Nabil Bentaleb is booked for Tottenham for a foul. Play restarts with a Newcastle free-kick which they launch into the box, Tottenham clear and Daryl Janmaat fires wide from 20 yards. 90 seconds of normal time remain.

    That sums Newcastle's day up. A free-kick 35 yards from goal is played to the edge of the box for Ayoze Perez but he mis-controls and the ball skips away for a goal-kick. There were empty seats at kick-off. There are even more now. Some of the home fans have seen enough.

  15. Postpublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Tottenham almost have a third as Federico Fazio challenges Tim Krul at the near post and bundles the ball out of his grasp and just past the post. Krul complains that he had the ball stolen, but the referee didn't whistle. It would have stood had it gone in.

    Harry Kane shows strength to win the ball on the edge of the Newcastle box but Mike Williamson is equally strong as he comes over to block the striker's shot from an angle. The ball flies away for a corner...

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:38 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Danny Rose looks to have taken a bit of a knock to the back. Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino plays it safe and replaces him with Ben Davies.

  18. Postpublished at 17:37 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Newcastle are looking to avoid a sixth straight defeat. They are still not out of the relegation woods just yet. Have they got enough in the locker to change the outcome of this game from what looks like being another loss? Daryl Janmaat unleashes a shot from range but slices it way, way wide.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 19 April 2015

    Newcastle's final change sees striker Adam Armstrong come on for Vurnon Anita. Tottenham also make a change as Mousa Dembele replaces Nacer Chadli.

    Tim Krul is singlehandedly keeping Newcastle in this game. Erik Lamela makes a good run to the edge of the box to receive a pass forward and earn himself a clear sight of goal but Krul is alert and out in a flash to block with his arm.
