Tottenham v Newcastle: Premier League – Live! | Soccer

32 min: Tottenham has not yet had a goal attempt, which tells you all about how it happened for them. They scream again for a kick after Rose has pbaded Ritchie and falls, but they will not have it either.

30 minutes: Steve Bruce – local hero! Here, fair play for Newcastle, they have not yet been seriously threatened and have created the two best chances of the match when they marauded. They buried the second and the Spurs have a problem.

Now! Newcastle managed a sustained pbad in possession of him, the Spurs doing little or nothing to support the ball. They are forced to pay when Atsu, about 40 meters and left, pbades a wonderful pbad on the defense that Joelinton expertly strikes and attacks Lloris for his first goal of Newcastle!

25 min: The Spurs win a corner at the other end and the game has now taken a bit of tempo. It soon subsides when Dubravka easily claims Lamela's kick.

23 min: Near Longstaff! Joelinton holds the ball well and suddenly Newcastle rushes to the surface. Longstaff has two men screaming to his left, but, in all honesty, his shot is superbly captured and Lloris is forced to make a great acrobatic backup. The corner is useless, but Newcastle hit the mark!

23 min: I can already see, say, Isaac Hayden commenting after finishing 0-0 that "guys have worked a lot on fitness this week."

21 min: The Spurs want a penalty now, while His breaks into the box and falls under Schar's challenge. Dean decides that the defender came first and there is no VAR intervention. So that's it.

20 min: Rose balances a beautiful cross beyond everyone, and it's really as good as it has been so far.

18 min: Burnley has a long lead over the Wolves thanks to Ashley Barnes, who is on fire.

17 min: It looks like he stopped during what at first glance seemed like a really sloppy game to let the ball pbad. I think he has changed his hamstring and that comes Atsu. It was not the beginning he would have liked.

15 minutes: This is perhaps the only glimpse we have of Saint-Maximin – it hurts and it seems that Attsu could pbad …

13 min: Quick look at Saint-Maximin, who is in a promising position on the left side of the box thanks to Ritchie's quick free-kick … and pbades the ball past the touchline.

11 min: Winks is booked for a draw on Almiron in the middle of the field, which seemed totally useless. Do not throw bone at Mike Dean!

10 minutes: It's a slow start, really. The Spurs do not move the ball as fast as they would like and Newcastle so far seems much more disciplined than last week. You really expect it from a Bruce team.

7 min: The Spurs win their first corner, in front of this wall of fans on one level.

Eriksen
Lamela balances it in; it's behind for another, which is erased by Joelinton.

5 min: Nothing important has happened yet, but it's fair to say that, despite their color scheme, Newcastle will not be Holland from the 1970s here.

2 min: That's all, the Spurs at the very beginning, under a blazing sun. I guess Newcastle will look for counters here.

Spurs start. Newcastle in orange, returned them for guests to go first from left to right.

I should have mentioned, by the way, that the Spurs' great summer signature Tanguy Ndombele injured in the thigh. We will not appreciate it anytime soon.

It's an afternoon of sports theater and it's about to get better – your referee is Mike Deanot and he's leading the teams now.

"Eriksen is generally considered among us, the Spurs fans, as being gone or leaving. Poch prepares his life without him. Levy has already spent his transfer fees, " Steve Porter writes.

I've heard that other Spurs supporters have also said that … but they surely would not have spent that money without being sure of a sale?

England won cricket! And it was * sensational *. But I'll leave it to Rob because we have football and it starts and it starts in about 15 …

Cricket is an absolutely hypnotic sport. But whatever! I am also interested to hear Spurs fans and their interpretation of Eriksen. Is it vital that he stays? And is Pochettino right to take a hard line with the player? He will absolutely see if a late deal is reached for Eriksen, for sure.

Saint-Maximin, winger of Newcastle, played under the orders of Patrick Vieira in Nice last season. From the little that I've seen, it can be quite exciting, but the end product is not always there. All Ligue 1 aficionados who still have something to add, I would love to hear from you.

Man City won 3-1 but you may be watching cricket.

Oh, and the locust goes on! Rob Smyth asks England to try the impossible and, my God, they are close …

Manchester City are 3-1 at Bournemouth, who at least scored a magnificent free kick by Harry Wilson. Catch the end with Ben Fisher and I'll be back with you. Get your emails and tweets, meanwhile, you know the situation!

Spurs: Lloris; Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rose; Sissoko, Winks; Lamela, Son, Moura; Kane. Subs: Gazzaniga, Davies, Vertonghen, Dier, Skipp, Eriksen, Lo Celso.

Newcastle: Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett; Ritchie, Hayden, Longstaff; Saint-Maximin; Almiron; Joelinton. Subs: Darlow, Manquillo, Fernandez, Willems, Shelvey, Atsu, Muto.

Eriksen returns to the naughty stage! But His comes back from his three-game ban.

Saint-Maximin debuts in Newcastle and Longstaff is back too.

It's a beautiful day in North London. I should know, as I write this a jump, jump, jump from White Hart Lane. The new Spurs stadium will shine for this one and hope we can have some fun.

There was enough fun in the pre-game exchanges in Newcastle, with Steve Bruce and, by mistake, Michael Chopra, exchanging words. They had a stormy start and the defeat at Norwich was chaotic. Here again, Arsenal and the Spurs do not have the easy task. They recall the first demonic weeks they had last time. Brucey still has time to remedy the situation.

And Newcastle did well recently at previous Spurs tournaments, winning three straight wins over old White Hart Lane and finishing twice at Wembley. So, historically, it is a tighter device than on paper, it could seem.

There is also some pressure on the Spurs. They had a fright against Aston Villa and were lucky when they found themselves in Manchester City. The situation of Christian Eriksen really does not help and she is about to start her week of crisis. It's hard not to think that maybe this is a season when they reach a plateau – but they may be about to prove that this idea is absolutely stupid!

There are many things to watch for in any case. Can Newcastle get out of the game? Will the Spurs rank among the top competitors? Stay tuned for all this and, no doubt, a lot more!
