Newcastle have looked dangerous at times which is giving their fans something to shout about.Spurs should probably be a goal up but Newcastle haven't made any individual mistakes as of yet and have defended well as a team. It could be an exciting second half as Tottenham are strong finishers.

In comes that dead ball from Christian Eriksen... poor. Hits the first man.

That's that.

Attack v defence but Newcastle will be happy. Erik Lamela struck the bar with a header, Lucas Moura should have scored but Spurs have a question to answer.

Jan Vertonghen has already put in nine crosses from open play, his most ever in a Premier League game. His previous high was seven - also against Newcastle in Nov 2013.

This time he's fouled on the left flank and Spurs will have a dead ball in a good area.

Last chance of the half...

Son Heung-min shows nice feet, this time driving in from the right and he goes down... nothing doing. He wanted the free-kick but Newcastle care little and break. Ayoze Perez down the right, he isolates a defender and tricks his way past him... shooting chance... he takes another touch and cuts the ball back to no one but a Spurs defender.

He had a brief sight of goal but turned it down. A waste...

Tottenham build off a throw in down the right. In comes a cross, held by Martin Dubravka.

It's a thankless task for Salomon Rondon up front for Newcastle, you are expected to do well when the ball comes to you despite having few touches or opportunities.

I'll let you into a secret. This match was designed to be top of the bill on Match of the Day tonight. I'm now not sure what slot it will be in.

The influental Son Heung-min has spent the majority of this first half on the left, but has interchanged with Moura and Lamela in a fluid formation, and has since moved into a more central position.

Can Newcastle make it to half time? They are under the pump here.

A deep corner comes to Moussa Sissoko and he fires first time... low... hard... accurate... saved. The rebound spills out but it's scrambled clear.

A good effort from Sissoko from around 15 yards that.

Many times in a season teams will have an attack versus defence training session where defenders outnumber the attackers. That's what Spurs are facing now.

Here we have the average positions after 35 minutes. You can see Spurs are camped in the away half, while Newcastle - on the right here - are compact and deep.

Jan Verthongen doesn't have the frame of a nimble full-back but he skins his man and whips a good ball in... no one connects.

The pattern returns after that Salomon Rondon chance as Spurs pin the visitors in.

Neither team have yet to land a shot on target so far, with eight shots in total between the sides.

Spurs win a corner as a Verthongen cross goes out off DeAndre Yedlin.

Well, well, well, Newcastle have started playing a bit. Hats off to them, they've taken their time and remain cautious but have nicely reminded Spurs they are more than just a punch bag. They'll punch back...
