The visitors attack from the right, this time, and as a cross is floated over, Papiss Cisse's header is easily gathered by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris. 

Newcastle midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum shows his trickery in midfield and gets clipped by Erik Lamela. Newcastle need to get him on the ball more often.

Not wrong Mike. 

Congested in the midfield, the key to this game is down the flanks as Steve Claridge suggests. Moussa Sissoko and Georginio Wijnaldum are class players for Newcastle but Papiss Cisse is not matching their work-rate with a finish so far.

"A good save from Rob Elliot but one you would expect him to make - it was a good height.

"They are physically very good, Tottenham. They've got pace down the flanks and all over the pitch are quick to get onto anything that's loose. 

"Newcastle have to show a bit more ambition if they are to get back into this game."  

Newcastle boss Steve McClaren is up on his feet pointing and pleading with his team to get them back into it.

Now it's opening up. Spurs drive forward, Harry Kane has space to shoot from 25 yards and it's a lovely effort but Rob Elliot dives to his right to stop it finding the top corner.

Moussa Sissoko on the burst from the right, drives inside and slots a lovely ball through to Papiss Cisse, but his low effort is wide. That was a decent chance. 

Little bit of afters as Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat and Spurs left-back Danny Rose come head to head. Newcastle attempting to get back into this by upping the energy levels. Georginio Wiljnaldum tries an overhead effort but it strike Toby Alderweireld.  

Christian Eriksen steps up, 25 yards from goal, and hits it straight into the wall. 

Great break from Tottenham as Kyle Walker squares to Dele Alli, with the latter brought down by Vernon Anita in a very promising free-kick position. 

Erik Lamela is seeking to add to Newcastle's record as he burst down the right, cuts back and his cross is just wide of the far post. Not far off at all.

Newcastle are the joint leakiest defence in the league now along with Bournemouth, having let in 31 goals.

Teams are back out, Spurs get us under way for the second half. No changes. 

So you collect the ball off a team-mate, shape to shoot, angle it towards the top corner and said team-mate gets in the way! That's how Papiss Cisse blocked Siem de Jong's effort for Newcastle. Spurs stopper Hugo Lloris was airborne.

Is the scoreline a fair reflection of the game? With Spurs enjoying 11 shots on goal to Newcastle's two, you would have to say so. Steve McClaren's side are yet to hit the target so I presume Papiss Cisse blocking team-mate Siem de Jong's effort goes down as a blocked shot. Unfortunate.

Crisis over on the tea front by the way. One of my colleagues has obliged. You can rest easy now!

Our friends at Opta have a few stats for you to consume with your half-time brew. It was Tottenham's 10th goal from a set piece this season, the most in the Premier League. Christian Eriksen now has six assists, only Gerard Deulofeu (7) and Mesut Ozil (13) have more.

More importantly, who's getting the teas in?
