Football Update: EPL News- Tottenham Hotspur 2 Newcastle 0 (Second Half)
Some expected Tottenham to run Newcastle ragged – it wasn’t the case in the opening half. Spurs were ruffled by the Magpies' more physical approach. As teams came out after interval, Spurs made a change as former Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas came
on for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wilson-Palacios-c36948.
Neither side improved enough in the early stages of the second half to suggest they are about to go in front. Andy Carroll went off for some treatment, but was back to continue.
Newcastle was awarded a free-kick 22 yards out and Andy Carroll tried his luck from the spot, he gave it the big hammer, only for his left-foot shot to dribble into the area before being cleared. Not even close to the sweet spot
Finally, Tottenham's broke the stalemate as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Lennon-c3062 on the right and he dribbled past his marker James Perch left and right before firing an angled shot which took a slight deflection off Perch and past Tim Krul into the bottom corner.
A moment of madness from Younes Kaboul as Cheick Tiote went in hard but won the ball cleanly from defender, But the Spurs man doesn't liked it. He went tête-à-tête with Tiote and apparently leaned his head towards the midfielder a little, White Hart Lane
was shell shocked to see referee Anthony Taylor produce a straight red card. Tiote shouldn't be on the pitch in the first place to clash with Kaboul, he committed about five bookable offences. But escaped referees eyes. It was the second game running; Spurs
had to beat the referee and the other team with only 10 men.
Moments later Spurs had a decent opening to wrap up the points at home against Newcastle, but after having played into the Magpies area down the right by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermaine-Jenas-c18362, goal scorer Aaron Lennon couldn’t apply the finishing touch as he drilled his shot wide
of the far post.
It was simply sensational stuff from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 gave the ball to Gareth Bale on the left as they launch a quick counter-attack and from then on, it is all about the Welshman.
Bale surged into the box, turned Steven Taylor inside out and rifled a sublime low shot with a bit of swerve into the far corner from a tight angle, beating Tim Krul's despairing dive.
On this performance, Spurs would like to play with 10 men every week. It makes their counter-attacking game work perfectly as opposition push forward in search of goal.
Final Score: Tottenham Hotspur 2 Newcastle United 0
