GOAL! Newport 1-1 Tottenham (Kane, 82)
Spurs have the equaliser, and who else but Harry Kane who nets his 30th goal of the season. A corner delivery is swung in, Son flicks it on and the England international sneaks away to the back post and is left with a simple tap-in.

Dembele receives the ball with his back to goal, he is surrounded by yellow shirts and eventually he loses possession and then compounds Spurs' misery by conceding the foul.

Spurs produce a swift attack as they spread the ball wide to Trippier, but his cross is deflected into the arms of Newport's goalkeeper Day.
70'
Newport really struggling to get out of their own half. They're wasting as much time as they possibly can, but still there are 20 minutes to play. Can they hold on?
