"Spurs haven't been that convincing but they have had much more of the play, as you would expect of the home side.     

"We've not seen anything to suggest Newcastle will get back in it. Apart from that one chance blocked by Papiss Cisse, it's been a containment game." 

Eric Dier's third goal of the season is the difference. As it stands Spurs are in the Premier League's top four.

Spurs happy to see this one out until half-time by playing safe in possession but here come Newcastle. Moussa Sissoko wins a throw-in deep in Spurs territory but it's eventually cleared.

Should be 2-0. Tottenham get some space on the edge of the box, it's played wide to Danny Rose but he drags his shot wide of the far post with Harry Kane sliding in. That was a chance. 

So what can Newcastle muster in response? Two minutes left until the break.

Just looking at the replays again and Fabricio Coloccini completely lost Eric Dier at the corner. It's been a weekend for them.

"Steve McClaren seems to have disappeared. I think he went down the tunnel to have a look at the goal on the replay. 

"I think Rob Elliot could have done a lot better with that. He palms the ball up. It's not a save, and it took the ball over the player who was defending on the line."

Another fine save from Rob Elliot and again it's from Erik Lamela. The Spurs winger is played in through the middle but Elliot stops his rising shot.

"Tottenham have had most of their joy down the flanks (as can be seen by the average positions below), but the problem for them is Newcastle are defending very deeply, so even if Spurs do get in behind out wide, the away team are already set. 

"Steve McClaren's side are keeping Spurs at arm's length, they're looking comfortable."

And it's hat-trick hero Erik Lamela who goes close. A curling effort is superbly saved by Rob Elliot. Best effort so far. 

Newcastle boss Steve McClaren will be happy if this one remains goalless until half-time. His side have weathered the early storm and look compact in defence. But here are Spurs on the attack again.

Both Spurs full-backs are getting forward, as Danny Rose crosses into the middle but watches as Rob Elliot comes out to claim his centre. Down the other end Papiss Cisse heads wide from about 12 yards out. He had to strain his neck muscles to get that one goalwards. 

Another goal in the game between Liverpool and West Brom. You can follow that game right here.

Tottenham might have been on an unbeaten run since the start of the season but their last two games have been 1-1 against West Brom and 0-0 at home to Chelsea. Jack Colback goes into the book as he brings down Kyle Walker. 

The referee Roger East has just taken a tumble and the fans are quick to praise his balance. Sort of!

Maybe mentioning this will urge the teams into finding the net? Spurs have had six shots to Newcastle's one but we have one shot on target in total.

Spurs are looking to break quickly but are held up by Jack Colback's handball. Not sure if it was intentional but it did the job. Vernon Anita now concedes another foul. Christian Eriksen takes the free-kick deep in the Newcastle half but it doesn't beat the first man. 

Kyle Walker looks like he's right to carry on but he's limping. He'll have a nice bruise in the morning, I bet.
