The son is talking! "Of course I'm tired, but both games were very important. And with the six points, I think we had a great week. It was a tough match but we are very happy and we deserved this one. We tried to reach the goal, but football is not easy and we had to wait. Fortunately, I was so lucky and I am very grateful to my teammates. Teammates and coaches give me confidence. I appreciate every second of the Premier League. "
A third winner in a row for the Spurs. The kind of race that makes teams think: it could be our season. They will dream again and feel great after a tough week in the cups. They are second with 57 points, four behind Liverpool and one ahead Manchester City. We have a real race for the title this season!
Newcastle remains in 14th place with 24 points. They are five from the drop zone and will curse Martin Dubravka's late mistake. Another precious point would have done very well. But although they have run their luck sometimes this afternoon and the Spurs are finally deserved winners, they have performed very well in front of the home of a serious title contender. If Solomon Rondon's head had fallen in, it could have been so different. They surely have more than enough talent to escape relegation.

Newcastle zip upfield, Perez almost sweeping the right interior cbad. But Lloris goes out to intercept and erase. Eriksen then sends a diagonal ball into the Newcastle penalty area from the right. Llorente is free, but has a dark, tall head to the right. He squints his eyes in the sun, theatrically blaming the conditions.
69 min: There is a lot of noise from both fans at Wembley. And yet, you can still hear Rafa Benitez micro-manage his strong men from the sideline! Newcastle reacts well, getting in shape, Trippier ends up being forced to give up the ball with a long and speculative pbad desperate. Goal kick.
67 min: Yedlin is reserved for a deliberate handball right. The resulting free kick is a total loss of time. Newcastle climbs to the other end, Perez up to the right of a curler at 20 meters.

The crowd goes there too; they were also a little flat since the recovery.
57 min: Lascelles and Lucas fight for a long ball down the Spurs. Lascelles puts Lucas in contact with him and guides the ball for a goal. The body language of the two men is instructive: Lascelles advance with determination, while Lucas lowers his head a little and returns to the field. The Spurs must improve their game.
55 min: Yedlin is sent right again. His cross, destined for Rondon, is no longer almost erased, then Sissoko gives possession to Ritchie instead of bleaching it. Ritchie shoots a shot down left, but that's an easy claim for Lloris. Newcastle seems to have a much more powerful attack force now.

Lamela sends him and Sanchez gets up higher to send a wide head to the right. If it had been framed – and again, it was a Spurs head that should have been – it was a goal, because Dubravka was blindly panicking. It would not have happened there.

Update
46 min: Longstaff falls deeply to the left before trapping a pbadage in the cbad to free Perez.

We are leaving again! Newcastle throws the ball for the second half. Neither team brought change at halftime. During this cold weather, warm up by placing your hands for Adam Levine: "I hope that every time his pbad in front of Schar, he will shout," I've had you, baby. "
