Pedro Porro was forced to order both Djed Spence and Randal Kolo Muani over to Tottenham’s away supporters at St James’ Park. In the aftermath of their defeat on Tyneside, the pair were spotted heading straight down the tunnel, before the Spaniard intervened and forced them back out.

Nick Woltemade doubles Newcastle's lead. Newcastle squander another golden opportunity. Harvey Barnes did well to make space on his right foot and his cross was inch perfect. Joe Willock had acres of space but somehow miscued his header and put his effort wide of goal when it was easier to score.
Newcastle United have been boosted by the presence of Sven Botman ahead of their Carabao Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park. Botman started the win over Fulham on Saturday, but left the field of play early after being injured as Sasa Lukic nodded home Fulham’s equaliser.
