Spurs 1 Newcastle 2
Who shot? JR!
A goal in each half at the
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday was enough to end Newcastle's
four game winless league run and increase the pressure on
beleaguered home boss Thomas Frank, whose turn it was to be booed
off.
Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey struck either side of Archie Gray's
leveller to
propel United back into the top half of the table on a biblically
wet night in North London, when the outcome outweighed any stylistic
considerations.
The consequences of failing to beat an injury-hit Spurs side with a
dreadful home record may not have been fatal for Eddie Howe, but
collecting three points was a massive relief on the field, in the
stands - and on the bench.
That release of pressure was evident post-match as the victorious
Magpies saluted their supporters, Kieran Trippier and Bruno
Guimaraes pushing the clearly delighted manager forward to give
clenched fist salutes and punch the air.
Newcastle had never failed to score in their previous six visits
here and looked odds-on to extend that run almost from the off,
taking a stranglehold on the game against opposition who provided no
threat and little defence.
With strike trio Nick Woltemade, Yoane Wissa and William Osula all
benched, a front three of Harvey Barnes, Anthony Gordon and Anthony
Elanga continually pressed Spurs back towards their own goal and won
a series of corner kicks.
Despite all of that pressure though and the lack of interest Spurs
had in attacking - much to the annoyance of their support - United's
failure to score began to echo their recent 0-0 draw at fellow
strugglers Wolves.
The overdue breakthrough looked to come at the end of the half
when Joe Willock raced onto Ramsey's through ball and finished
emphatically, only for a VAR call to spot that the scorer's forehead
was marginally offside.
Once again we feel duty bound to point out that the film frame used
by VAR is arbitrary - not "a matter of fact".
Sports are filmed at
60fps (frames per second) so the one used for the ball leaving the
passer's foot could be one of a dozen or so. Who decides and how can
judgements of millimetres be based on it? Players run at speeds that
mean they move at about 15cm per frame....
United weren't denied for long though; Willock sending over a
delicious deep centre from the right in time added on and Thiaw's
initial header blocked by
Guglielmo
Vicario but running free for the United defender to bundle the ball
in.
A slightly improved home display after the interval was rewarded by
Gray's 64th minute leveller from close range after a corner from the
left was nodded back across the Newcastle six yard box by Matar Sarr.
Parity lasted less than five minutes however, before Gordon
did well to tee up Ramsey for a smart first-time shot that
he raucously celebrated in front of the away fans - a tangible
reward for a greatly improved performance.
The margin of victory should have really been greater: Sven Botman,
Barnes, Willock and Ramsey all going close or seeing efforts saved and
blocked.
However the visitors maintained their one goal advantage, helped by
a persistently wooden home display that rarely pressurised Nick Pope
in his 100th United league game.
Hobbling and signalling to come off, Bruno then appeared to change
his mind and two other substitutions were made before he limped out
of the action after having collected a booking and what looked like
a thigh or hamstring pull.
The three points took United up to tenth in the table, while the
Cockerels slid towards the relegation zone, just five points clear
of West Ham who were seconds away from beating Manchester United
before a late leveller.

After the match Eddie Howe said:
"I thought the players
were all out on the pitch, we were getting cramp at the end. Our
schedule has been relentless but I thought the performance was
brilliant.
"It was a great finish from JJ
(Jacob Ramsey). He's getting accustomed to the team. I
thought Bruno's performance in the middle of the pitch was really
strong.
"We've been waiting for that
momentum shift for a long time this season. We just haven't strung
it together long enough this season. It's going to be tough for the
players but a great result today.
"I think in the moment that we were in, you have to take stock of
everything.
"As I said after the press conference at Brentford, that wasn't an
act. That was me being very real and very genuine in terms of how I
felt.
"I said again that I've got to believe that I am the right person to
be in the job with all the sacrifices that it entails. I've got to
feel the players are playing for me.
"Today they showed that they are. But that has to be consistent
moving forward.
"I think it's brought us closer together and it's reinforced
relationships and made us all look inward. It made us all look at
what we're doing and how we can do it better.
"This is a really tough
job that we're doing. We're at the very highest level.
"You're constantly asked new questions. We're playing a game every
three days. Sometimes that can feel like you can't breathe, you
can't reset. You're being asked to play again and again.
"That's why we rotated the squad to a degree today to try and
freshen a couple of players up so they can really find their top
form. We need to try and have the ability to do that more if we can
get a few players back from injury."
On Joe Willock's disallowed
goal:
"I really felt for Joe because it was an outstanding finish. He
ran himself into the ground for me."
On the Bruno Guimaraes injury:
"I'm not sure. He's a little bit worried. He said he’s not sure he's
never had a problem with his hamstrings before, so is it cramp? was
it a muscle problem?
"It probably feels more of an injury to me but let's wait and see.
We'll try and stay positive at this moment."
On the issues integrating signings:
"I keep saying the lack of
training is slowing their development, but they are beginning to
feel at home in the team and once you feel part of it, and feel
integral to how the team plays, you can only get better."
On the post-match reception:
"It was the fact I was
pushed to the front and had no choice, really. It's not really my
style.
"I
think it was probably more in recognition of the fact that we
haven't won away enough. Our supporters have travelled far and wide
to watch us and we feel like we've let them down on a few occasions.
"It's
nice today that we get that moment to celebrate with them and not
just me, but the players get a chance, some of the new players get a
chance to experience the love from the fans.
"That was a special connection
and I'm grateful it's still there."
Referee: Anthony Taylor - a second Toon posting of the
season for the official from very near Manchester, after the 0-1
loss at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
VAR: Nick Hopton - fine margins.
Stats:
Following wins at Everton and Burnley, Newcastle collected
maximum points away from home for the third time this season
so far. Their lowest-ever PL total was two, reached in 2003/04,
2008/09, 2012/13 and 2015/16.
A first competitive success for the blue and orange change kit;
victory at Everton was achieved wearing green and the Burnley
success came clad in black and white.
Eddie Howe's side won a PL game in London for the first time
since a 1-0 success at West Ham back in March 2025.
Malick Thiaw
netted his fourth Premier League goal of the season, following a
brace at Everton in November and one at home to Crystal Palace last
month.
Jacob Ramsey
registered his maiden strike in our colours, becoming the
174th different scorer for the club in the PL - and the 64th
to be born in England.
Nick Pope made his 100th PL appearance for Newcastle.
United scored their 36th and 37th PL goals of the season, moving
ahead of their lowest-ever seasonal total in that competition - 35
in the 1997/98 campaign.
Spurs and Newcastle have
now had three competitive meetings this season: a 2-2 PL draw at SJP
and a 2-0 victory on Tyneside in
the Carabao Cup.
The two sides also met in pre-season, drawing 1-1 in a kickabout
staged in the South Korean capital of Seoul.
United's 154th PL away win is the thirteenth to have come
against Spurs - making them our most favoured opponent on the road
in that competition. This latest success sees them move one clear of
West Ham, where we've won 12 times.

Departure:
Lascelles
leaves
Update: Lascelles debuted for the Foxes on Saturday,
completing 71 minutes of a 1-2 Championship defeat at Birmingham
City.
Tuesday then saw him start on the bench at home to Southampton,
appearing in the 75th minute with City 3-1 ahead only to finish up
on the end of a 3-4 defeat.
Tuesday brought confirmation that long-serving central
defender Jamaal Lascelles had left Newcastle, joining
Championship side Leicester City for the remainder of the season, at
which point he'll become a free agent.
The 32 year-old made the last of 253 appearances against Arsenal
in September, having moved to Tyneside from Nottingham Forest in August
2014 alongside Karl Darlow, the pair immediately returning to the City Ground
on loan.
Inheriting the number 6 shirt from Mike Williamson, Jamaal debuted
in the League Cup against Northampton Town in August 2015, before a harsh
introduction to the Premier League coming off the bench to partner Fabricio Coloccini and Chancel
Mbemba in a 1-6 loss at Manchester City,
The replacement of Steve McClaren by Rafa Benitez
failed to prevent relegation but was pivotal for Lascelles, who
became a regular starter and was made club captain.
One season in the second tier ended in spectacular style with Jamaal
holding the Championship trophy following a home win over Barnsley
and Brighton's draw at Villa.
Losing his place for the Premier League opener as Benitez partnered Ciaran
Clark with Florian
Lejeune, Paul Dummett almost immediately limped off
and Lascelles was back in.
Winning goals in successive games against Swansea City and
Stoke City were followed by news of a contract extension
and what became an effective pairing with Fabian Schar.
Retaining the captaincy after Benitez gave way to
Steve Bruce, Lascelles remained a regular until the
installation of Eddie Howe and later acquisitions of Dan Burn and Sven Botman
saw him slip down the pecking order.
An unused substitute at Wembley in the 2023 Carabao Cup Final,
Jamaal found his way back into the side again as Botman succumbed to
injury and Burn played at full back - starting all but one of
United's six Champions League ties and giving one of his standout
displays away to PSG.
Suffering a cruciate injury during a 4-3 home victory over West Ham
in March 2024, Lascelles was sidelined for over a year before
returning to action with a pair of substitute outings in the early
weeks of this season, by which time Malick Thiaw was through the
door.
His absence from the playing squad though didn't prevent Jamaal from
lifting the Carabao Cup with fellow captains Bruno Guimaraes and
Kieran Trippier last year - a fitting gesture to acknowledge his
long service to the cause.
FA Cup :
Aston Villa
(a)
The Magpies return to FA Cup action on Saturday, facing Aston
Villa in a Fourth Round tie at Villa Park.
As per the Third
Round, there are no replays, with extra time played if the scores
are level after 90 minutes followed by a penalty shootout if 120
minutes fails to find a winner.
It's a 5.45pm kick-off, live on TNT Sports
and BBC1.
This will be the third meeting of the two sides this season,
following a 0-0 draw at Villa in August and a 0-2 home loss last
month.
Team: Joelinton, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar remain
sidelined with doubts over Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley.
AVFC:
Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, John McGinn, Alysson and
Andres Garcia are all on the injured list.
Ahead of our visit, the Villans host Brighton & Hove Albion in the
Premier League on Wednesday.
Unai Emery's side reached the Fourth Round thanks to a 2-1 victory
at Spurs.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh - a fourth Toon posting of the
season for the Lancashire whistler and the first away from
Gallowgate.
Beginning with a 1-0 PL home victory over Wolves, Kavanagh handled
the 2-0 LC home win against Spurs and returned for the 0-2 loss to
Manchester City in the same competition.

On This Day in History |
|
11th February |
|
Born Or Died:
1983 Jonathan Brain born, Carlisle.
(1999-2003)  Signed by Ruud Gullit from Carlisle United
in 1999,
Jonny played for
Newcastle's Academy and reserve sides but was released
after four seasons.
Returning to Brunton Park
to
try and
win a contract, Port Vale offered him a deal on the recommendation of their Carlisle-born ex-Toon midfielder Mark Boyd.
Debuting against Scarborough in a Football League Trophy tie in October 2003, Jonny played 69 games for the Valiants before departing in the Summer of 2006.
Brain's
next port of call was Macclesfield Town (along with Boyd),
completing
a century of appearances for the League Two side over the
next four seasons.
Turning down a new deal at Moss Rose, Brain joined Walsall and was initially their first choice 'keeper, but lost his place and was released during 2011.
Following an unsuccessful trial with Bradford City, Jonny joined Northern Premier League side Nantwich Town before signing for rivals Stafford Rangers in
2013.
However, he exited from Marston Road the following March.
1996 Alex Gilliead born, Shotley Bridge.
(2012-18)  Midfielder spotted playing for Swalwell Juniors in 2011, joined United's U16s
on trial and making a favourable impression at the Lion City Cup and Nike Cup
events.
England recognition then followed in October 2011 with selection for a Victory Shield tie against Wales at Cheltenham.
March 2012 proved to be a momentous month for Alex, debuting for United's U18s at Wolves and scoring his first goal at that against Stoke City two weeks later.
Between those two outings he received the Jack Hixon Award for promising young talent from Sport Newcastle shindig, ending the month with a reserve team bow against West Bromwich Albion.
A regular in the U18s the following season, Alex made his second reserve appearance in unusual circumstances in November 2012 - starting for the U18s against Spurs before being subbed and then appearing off the bench late
on
in
the U21 fixture being played on an adjoining pitch!
Signing
a three year professional contract in July 2013, Gilliead was
an U18 and U21
regular
the season and also capped by England at U17 and U18
level.
A maiden first team outing came in July 2014, appearing in the closing stages of a friendly at Sheffield Wednesday.
Gilliead
was selected on the bench by caretaker boss John Carver for an FA Cup tie at
Leicester City the following January but didn't get on as a weakened line-up
lost 0-1.
Loaned to League
Two Carlisle United for the 2015/16 season, a string of good displays saw him sign a new two year contract at Gallowgate
in
January 2016.
He returned from Carlisle having made 41 appearances, scoring five times as the Cumbrians finished tenth.
Gilliead spent part
of
2016 at
League Two Luton Town before climbing a division in January
with a loan to Bradford City.
A season-long switch to Valley Parade then followed before
his release
by
Newcastle, after which he played for Shrewsbury Town, Scunthorpe
United,
Bradford City again and Shrewsbury Town
once more before a return to Carlisle United on loan.

P24, 32pts, 3rd/18
McClarence(60), og(Groves)(70), Gosnell(86)
Lipsham(85)

Newcastle's quest for the Championship got back on track at Bramall Lane, this victory coming after a poor start to 1905 that had brought three league defeats and a pair of FA Cup stalemates. 1911 Notts County (a)
2-2 (1-1)
Division One
P26, 32pts, 5th/20
Stewart(20), Randall(60)
Cantrell(23,66)
12,000
A depleted Newcastle side made a first visit to Meadow Lane, which had
opened for business the previous September.
Notts centre forward Jimmy Cantrell looked to have complete his hat-trick late
on, but that was disallowed after the referee spotted he'd netted with his
hand. 1920 Everton (h)
3-0 (3-0)
Division One
P28, 31pts, 5th/22
Smailes(7,24) Robinson(29)
20,000
United ended a run of four league losses without scoring by beating an Everton side who
had thumped them 4-0 at Goodison a month earlier.
The Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury scribe
conceded Everton were battered
by the wind and an inspired home display, crossing the halfway line just once in the
opening 45 minutes.
The Toffees were grateful to goalkeeper Tom Fern for keeping the score down, but after conceding a header and a long-range shot from Andy Smailes, he helped in a wind-assisted effort from Ray Robinson. 1922 Arsenal (h)
3-1 (2-0)

Hudspeth(15pen), Seymour(120)
Galloway(35), Thornewell(103)
17,300
A third attempt at settling this tie took place at Burnden Park on a Monday afternoon, after both previous games had ended 2-2.
Bolton's ground was chosen after
United rejected a proposal to play in Sheffield, plans to utilise Manchester City's Maine Road ruled out due to the staging of another replay at Old Trafford.
Frank Hudspeth's spot kick put United
1-0 up only for Randolph Galloway to level and take the tie into extra time once again.
George Thornewell looked to have won it for the Rams, only for Stan Seymour to send the tie into a fourth game when he scored from a late free kick.
The Magpies captain then called correctly on the toss of a coin to take the game to SJP forty eight hours later. 1925 Bury (a)
0-0 (0-0)

Newcastle's FA Cup Fourth Round

Despite five goals however, the Journal

attraction" spoilt by the wind.  1956 Everton (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P30, 31pts, 7th/22
35,653
After scoring ten times in their previous three away games, United

Cheesebrough(28), Leek(76)
26,449
There
was an eventful debut for George Dalton, who unfortunately put through his own goal after only six minutes.
Fellow newcomer John McGrath fared a little better but
United continued to leak goals at an alarming rate: 18 in four games and 77 so far that season.
The fifth and final foxes goal came from Ken Leek, who
would become a Magpie later that year.

Drinkell(17)
28,633
One week on from
a fine 4-1 success at Portsmouth, our ten-match unbeaten run at SJP came to an end.
On a day when nothing went right for United,
Kevin Keegan later admitted that he was lucky not to have been dismissed for raging at the ref for disallowing a Kenny Wharton goal from a quickly-taken free-kick.
Grimsby moved above United into fourth, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Sheffield Wednesday occupying the promotion places.  1989 Coventry City (a)

Jim Smith handed a debut to Gary Brazil at Highfield Road, as Frank Pingel notched an own goal following John Hendrie's opener for United.
However, future Magpie Brian Kilcline
handled in the area and Mirandinha beat Steve Ogrizovic from the spot to give Newcastle their first win in seven attempts.

"Unpleasant
Valley Sunday" was our headline for this one, as a shocking defensive display in the first half cost us
dear.
Full back Wayne Quinn played his last game on loan from Sheffield United and
looked no better than his colleagues.
He
signed a permanent deal though and the squad flew to La Manga for a few days in the
sun post-match. An angry Bobby made sure it was no holiday for them....

Magpie boss Glenn Roeder made it two wins in two games, after a gritty display from ten man United at Villa Park.
We rode our luck at times;
Celestine Babayaro sent off after conceding a 61th minute penalty only for Shay Given
to deny
Milan Baros. It was our first league away win without Michael Owen and also our first away goals scored by an Owenless
starting XI.

at White Hart Lane. Old boy Louis Saha netted twice as everything Spurs touched turned to gold; manager Harry Redknapp
celebrating his acquittal on fraud charges in style.

Almost inevitably, the meeting of Alan Pardew's present and former clubs ended all square, neither side seizing the initiative and both content with a point.
Papiss Cisse headed home his tenth goal of the season to
put United ahead at half time but ex-mackem Fraizer Campbell slid in the equaliser in the second period.

United made it eleven wins on the road
and reclaimed top spot with a hard-fought victory at a very chilly Molineux.
Aleksandar
Mitrovic scored but then failed to reappear after the interval, narrowly
escaping his second yellow card for a bad challenge on Carl
Ikeme.
Jonjo Shelvey in particular enjoyed the win - blowing a kiss at full time to home fans who booed him
following his five match ban for abusing a Wolves player at SJP.

Matt Ritchie chose the perfect moment for his first goal of the season, sending SJP into absolute ecstasy.
The hosts certainly rode their luck but the victory was thoroughly deserved with some outstanding performances.
Jonjo Shelvey excelled but debutant Martin Dubravka made an instant and memorable impact as Jose Mourinho's winless run on Tyneside was extended.

A 95th minute goal denied United victory at Molineux, as their Monday night curse continued.
Ahead
through Isaac Hayden, United looked to have won it when the allotted four extra minutes ticked round with
that lead intact.
However, referee Graham Scott
played on and when Adama Traore crossed to the back post, Willy Boly headed past Martin Dubravka from point-blank range.
Onfield protests were muted, but Rafa Benitez was inevitably raging - replays highlighting that debutant Miguel Almiron was impeded by the corner flag and Boly held down the
goalkeeper before leaping.

However, that point was due in no small part to Kieran Trippier, who made a late
