Magpies survive second-half storm to secure victory and extend unbeaten home run
-
Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak said "small changes made a big difference" as he helped secure a 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur with a simple tap-in on Sept 1.
The Magpies weathered a second-half storm from the visitors to secure the points in an entertaining English Premier League clash at St James' Park.
Harvey Barnes' first-half opener for Newcastle was cancelled out by a Dan Burn own goal after the break as Spurs dominated the proceedings in the second period but squandered numerous openings and were beaten by a lightningquick break from the hosts.
Joelinton's excellent defencesplitting pass was perfect for Jacob Murphy who, after drawing out goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, laid the ball on a plate for Isak to secure the three points as manager Eddie Howe's side remained unbeaten at home since January.
