Revitalized Eric Dyer had a stolen head that could go anywhere. He passed over the bar. Harry Kane fired a shot from outside the box he had found in the bottom or top corner before. Dier also caught a foul sweetly, after Joelinton dropped Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but threw a crossbar on the wrong side. It was not a very bad game, nor was it too much fun. The Spurs were just better than Newcastle and just had to find a way to break them up. It was one of those twisted lines where you think you know what ‘s going to happen and you’re waiting for the inevitable. This, however, had a reversal. Taking a walk in the game, Newcastle came to life after Allan Saint Maximin crashed to the floor by Rodrigo Bentancur. It was a fair challenge, but also a challenge designed to leave the Newcastle player in a pile. Something that happened. For some reason, the Spurs fans decided that Saint-Maximin had made a meal and disapproved of the Frenchman when he received the ball after that. Seconds later, having blocked a shot by Jonjo Shelvey, the Spurs did not clear and former Arsenal player Joe Willock nearly scored, dancing and punching Dier and Ben Davies to make room for the shot, which it was over until Crisitan. Romero dived in front of him. The game became spasmodic, heavy tackles were thrown in, players squared each other. The hostility spread. A period of constant pressure from visitors began. Saint-Maximin looked threatening every time he ran into the defense. Willock was also annoying and when the Spurs’ defense fell on the edge of the area in apparent agony, Sar rolled the free kick around the wall in the far corner.
