Newcastle vs Tottenham, Premier League: Tottenham defeat Newcastle 3-2, spoil Steve Bruce’ 1000th game in a controversial match that saw fan get medical attention – Newcastle is still winless in the 2021/22 Premier League season. This time against Tottenham at St. James’ Park, Steve Bruce managed his 1000th game and suffered a 3-2 defeat at home. While Son, Kane, Ndombele scored, the headline was that one fan who fell ill and needed some medical attention. Thankfully Reguilon and Dier spotted it and the game had to be suspended for a while. However, the good news is that the fan is now feeling better.
Harry Kane scored his first Premier League goal of the season as Tottenham Hotspur overcame Newcastle United 3-2 at St James’ Park on Sunday to prolong the hosts’ winless run in a match that was briefly halted after a fan collapsed in the crowd.
Newcastle, spurred on by a buoyant atmosphere in their first game since being taken over by a Saudi Arabia-led consortium, flew out of the traps and went ahead after just 108 seconds when Callum Wilson headed in from a Javi Manquillo cross.

But the bright start soon fizzled out as Spurs hit back in the 17th minute through Tanguy Ndombele, who lashed home from the edge of the box after being played in by Sergio Reguilon. Kane gave Spurs the lead five minutes later, scoring with a smart dink following an excellent ball from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The play was suspended for nearly 25 minutes just before halftime after a fan collapsed in the East Stand of the ground. Newcastle said that the supporter’s condition had been stabilized and they were on their way to the hospital.
Son Heung-min added a third from close range in first-half stoppage time before Newcastle were reduced to 10 men in the 83rd minute when Jonjo Shelvey saw red for a second booking. An own-goal from Eric Dier set up a tense finish but Spurs held on.
Spurs moved up to fifth in the standings with 15 points from eight games. Newcastle are second from the bottom with three points.
