Spurs half-time player ratings v Newcastle – Caught by a sucker-punch

Here’s how we rated the Tottenham Hotspur players following the opening forty-five minutes of action in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Newcastle United.

Ange Postecoglou’s side head into the break at St James’ Park currently one goal down, after a Harvey Barnes goal on 37 minutes gave the hosts the lead.

Tottenham were unable to make a spell of dominance count, and the Magpies put away their first shot on target after the Spurs defenders switched off at a throw-in.
