Tottenham’s struggles in the Premier League continued as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United on Saturday, extending their winless streak to four matches.

For Newcastle, the fit-again Sven Botman made his first appearance since last March after a long-term knee injury, starting in place of the suspended Fabian Schar as former Spurs defender Kieran Trippier made way for Tino Livramento at right-back.

Spurs were adamant Joelinton should have been penalised for handball in the build-up to Anthony Gordon's equaliser, but the officials deemed that the contact with Lucas Bergvall's pass was accidental and that the Brazilian's arm was in a natural position.
