English Premier League – Second Half Report: Tottenham versus Newcastle United (Part 2)
In the 55th minute of the match, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Lennon-c3062 who competed against James Perch for the ball but the ball took a touch off the defender and went out for a Tottenham Hotspur corner kick. The set piece was taken by Lennon himself who played
a one-two with Rafael Van Der Vaart but his eventual cross was headed away by Alan Smith. Tottenham embarked on a steady period of possession from there on in but the ball was captured back by Gutierrez as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-Hutton-c4253 was caught in possession for the home
side.
In the 56th minute, the ball was played out wide to Aaron Lennon by Luka Modric. The Tottenham winger took on James Perch and absolutely ruined the young full back due to his pace. He went past Perch and then unleashed a deadly finish past Krul
to give Tottenham Hotspur the lead. It was a fantastic strike by Lennon which brought smiles to the faces of Tottenham fans inside the White Hart Lane Stadium.
In the 58th minute of the match, it was Alan Smith who tackled http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 and the former Leeds United player was booked by the referee for his late challenge. It was a bad challenge by the midfielder who was rightly shown the yellow card by the
referee.
There were a few unsavoury words exchanged between the two players but the officials stepped in to calm down the situation. In the 59th minute of the match, Van Der Vaart was brought down by Tiote. The midfielder, who was on a yellow card already,
was just let off with a warning by the referee for his tackle on the Dutchman. In the 60th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639. The Croatian midfielder tried his luck on goal but the shot was easily saved by Tim Krul.
In the 61st minute, Andy Carroll was fouled by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Dawson-c25288. The referee pointed towards a free kick for Newcastle United but again Barton’s delivery was just hopeless as the ball went out of play for a Tottenham goal kick.
