The home side Newcastle United clinched a thrilling win against Tottenham Hotspur at St. James' Park. The Magpies emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline in the Premier League on Sunday.

The game was closely contested until Newcastle took the lead in the 37th minute. Harvey Barnes found the back of the net with an assist from Lloyd Kelly, giving the home fans plenty to cheer about.

Tottenham equalized through an own goal in the 56th minute, keeping the tension high. However, Alexander Isak scored the decisive goal in the 78th minute, brilliantly set up by Jacob Murphy.
