Newcastle United suffered their second Premier League defeat on the bounce at Tottenham Hotspur last night – but there were two positives to emerge.
Sean Longstaff and Callum Wilson made a return from their respective injuries to play the remaining half an hour at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

They were introduced in the 65th minute with United 3-0 down. A Richarlison brace and goals from Destiny Udogie and Heung-Min Son inflicted a 4-1 defeat – the Magpies’ sixth of the Premier League season.

“I’ve been backed into a very difficult position with the team selection and even in-game decisions.
