POST!
Son smacks the post with a bending effort!
28'
CHANCES!
Spurs almost score again as Kane plays through Son. The South Korean should go for goal but tries to pass it instead and fluffs his lines.
Seconds later Kane forces another great save from Darlow who was at full stretch to keep it out.
26'
GOAL! (Moura)
Lucas Moura secures his first Premier League goal in 2020 as Kane plays a lovely ball across the face of goal giving Moura a tap-in.
Gareth Bale claps in the stands.

25'
Screams of handball against Hendrick on the edge of the Newcastle box...looked suspect to me I think.
23'
Ritchie swings a great delivery over to Fernandez but Doherty clears for a corner.
Shelvey makes a mess of it and fails to clear the first man. Lascelles goes down in the area though and VAR are having a look...
Check complete and there's nothing amiss.
22'
A heavy touch from Doherty does nobody any favours as Spurs continue to push that final third.
But they're lacking when they get there as Newcastle successfully crowd them out each and every time. It's all a bit scrappy.
Up the other end, Wilson wins a free-kick...
19'
Son intercepts a Newcastle goal-kick and Kane is blatently offside but Son picks him out anyway.
Kane wasn't asking for it. A rare breakdown in comms between the regularly psychic pair.
17'
Dier is a centre-back these days, and he does a find job of sweeping up a Magpies counter-attack.
Newcastle have to offer more though, they're just getting relentlessly pressed.
16'
Quick throw-in finds Doherty some space down the right but he dawdles before picking out Kane.
He does win a corner, and Lo Celso's corner finds Kane but once again Darlow is there to stop Sanchez prodding in.
13'
Kane could have two but with goalless thanks to Darlow.
Doherty is causing all sorts of trouble down the right, making runs in behind like he's some sort of winger.
10'
SAVE!
Another great save from Darlow who might be in for one of those afternoons.
Doherty swings in for Kane whose header from three yards out is met by Darlow.
9'
Newcastle flash their first warning sign in front of the Spurs goal as Almiron sprays right to Callum Wilson. Spurs clear their lines and go right on the offensive again.
7'
Spurs are in complete control and have another free-kick but Son fails to clear the first man.
Newcastle have barely left the tunnel.
4'
WHAT A SAVE!
Lo Celso forces a diving save from Darlow and Kane's follow-up is also blocked by the 'keeper when he looked for all the world like scoring.
Great goalkeeping.
3'
Kane involved from the off as Moura almost finds the striker in space inside the box. The white shirts are looking lively.
And we have an early free-kick on our hands. Lo Celso steps up...

THREE MINUTE WARNING
13:52
ALLI OUT
What's going on with Dele Alli then?
The darling of Spurs under Mauricio Pochettino but his form has dipped drastically over the last 18 months.
Now, he can't even make the squad. Will he seek a move to try and revive his career? Or will he fight for a return to the side?
Ndombele has stuck with it and fought his way back into contention, can Alli do the same?
Here's what Mourinho had to say on his commission...
He told Sky Sports: "We start with Kane, with Son, with Lucas, then on the bench we have Lamela and Bergwijn, and when the players are on the pitch they have to try to earn more minutes for the next match, and for the next match they have to fight for that."
Cryptic...

EIGHT FROM EIGHT

SISSOKO OUT
Some late team news for you.
Moussa Sissoko has been removed from the Spurs bench - we assume that's injury related! Gedson Fernandes takes his place in the squad.
13:35
SONNY
Will we see another haul from Son Heung-Min?
The South Korean scored four last week against Southampton, all assisted by Kane. A fantasy football dream if you own both (I do not).
