A competition started in the 33rd round of the Premier League. Tottenham challenged Newcastle United as a guest. Tottenham's record this season is pretty good, with 18 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in the first 31 league games. Although such results are far from the first group competing for the championship, it makes Tottenham a very competitive team among the top four teams. For Tottenham, the biggest opponent is Aston Villa, and the records of the two teams are evenly matched. If Tottenham wants to qualify for the Champions League, they cannot easily lose points in the remaining games. This time Tottenham faced Newcastle United. Tottenham won the first round match between the two sides. This time, Tottenham suffered a disastrous defeat in the away game and were successfully avenged by Newcastle United!
Tottenham deployed a 4231 formation in this game. Son Heung-min is at the front. The offensive combination of Werner, Madison and Brennan Johnson came together. Bentancur and Bissouma form a double defensive midfielder. The back four of Udoki, Van der Ven, Romero and Polo started. Vicario serves as the starting goalkeeper. Kulusevski, Hill, Lo Celso and Hojbjerg were on the bench.
After the game started, both sides had their own offensive, and neither Werner nor Barnes seized the opportunity. But as time went by, Newcastle United's offense became more and more sharp, frequently created good opportunities, and scored consecutively. First, Isaac scored with a push shot, and then Gordon also scored a goal. Tottenham fell into an extremely passive situation and found it difficult to create decent opportunities. At halftime, Tottenham trailed 0-2. Tottenham had 66% of the ball in the first half, took 5 shots, 1 was on target, and failed to score. Newcastle United had 10 shots in the first half, 2 of which were on target, and 2 goals were scored.
In the second half, Newcastle United continued their excellent form and beat Tottenham again and again. Isaac scored twice with a single goal, and Scheer scored a header to kill the suspense of the game. Tottenham never scored. The final score was fixed at 0-4, and Tottenham lost miserably to Newcastle United. Such a result made Son Heung-min unbelievable. Tottenham failed to score 11 shots in the game. Newcastle United took 18 shots and scored 4 goals, and the shots were of high quality.
23-year-old genius Gordon is undoubtedly the best player in the game. He scored 3 goals, including 1 goal and 2 assists, and made an incredible 8 key passes. Isaac also performed well and scored 2 goals. However, Tottenham's number one star Son Heung-min was completely misfired. He didn't even have a shot and was completely lost. He only played less than 60 minutes before being substituted.
