Revenge best served cold - Spurs return after 18 months to be crushed by Newcastle United nufc
Match Reports23 seconds agoThe same Spurs that 18 months ago, almost to the day, turned up on one of the headiest, most memorable days in Newcastle United’s recent history and tried to spoil it.
The poor showing at Villa last week had cranked up the nerves a bit, but Spurs had a bad day of their own in their home defeat to Bournemouth. While United responded by bringing Longstaff in for Gordon, I was informed by my mate that the visitors had made considerably bigger changes, apparently playing with a back four for the first time this season.
United were absolutely bossing this game in all departments and in hindsight it’s difficult to see how it took a further ten minutes for number four to arrive. Burn won the ball from Kulusevski and Bruno played in Willock who ran forward before executing what may very well be the most magnificent assist I’ve ever witnessed since someone decided an assist was a thing.
United soon recalibrated and Burn almost added his name to the scoresheet with the sort of power header you wish he’d do from most corners, running in from the edge of the box instead of loitering about the back post. The effort seemed to be blocked by a mixture of Forster and the interfering Longstaff.
