After securing victory in a historic north London derby, Tottenham Hotspur take on another Premier League opponent in Newcastle United as their pre-season tour draws to a close.
A Pape Matar Sarr strike from the halfway line sealed summer bragging rights for Spurs over their fiercest rivals in Hong Kong on Thursday, as Thomas Frank’s side defended resiliently in the second half to preserve a 1–0 advantage.
Newcastle have also faced the Gunners in pre-season, but they were on the wrong end of an entertaining five-goal affair last weekend. A late Martin Ødegaard penalty condemned the Magpies to a 3–2 defeat, and Eddie Howe’s men followed that up with a 1–0 loss to the K-League All Stars on Wednesday.
It’s not been a particularly rosy pre-season for Newcastle thus far, with the Alexander Isak situation continuing to loom over them. They’ve lost three friendlies in a row.
Here is guide to this pre-season friendly.
