Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Tottenham's crucial Premier League clash with Newcastle from Wembley. The task is a simple one for Tottenham - win their next two games and they are in the Champions League next season. Anything else will let Chelsea, in action at home to Huddersfield tonight at Stamford Bridge, in. Newcastle are safe, and have been on the beach for a while now. Spurs have been below par of late, so will have to raise their game to get the job done. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

FT: Tottenham 1-0 Newcastle. That's it now! Spurs are assured of a top four finish, with Chelsea drawing with Huddersfield. The hosts were very poor at Wembley, and snuck home via the boot of Kane. Newcastle had their chances, but lacked that additional quality in the final third. Thanks for joining us. Goodnight.

CHANCE! Great chance for Rose to make sure of the win after being played in by Lamela, but he fires straight at Dubravka. Should have scored.

CLOSE! Almost an immediate impact from Murphy. He gets away from Sanchez and into the area, he's at an angle, just has Lloris to beat, but slams the ball over the top!

Spurs content to keep possession at the moment. Pace has slowed right down.

Just a reminder, if it stays like this, Spurs are guaranteed a Champions League spot next season. Chelsea are locked at 1-1 with Huddersfield with around 10 minutes remaining.
