Newcastle United beat Tottenham 2-1 on Tuesday, with Malick Thiaw scoring in first-half stoppage time and Jacob Ramsey netting the winner in the 68th minute from Gordon's cutback.

Ramsey called his first Magpies goal 'pure emotion,' while Howe praised Gordon's pressing and pace for giving the team a fluid, aggressive edge amid their striker struggles.

Key Takeaway

Anthony Gordon lined up through the middle with no traditional striker, a gamble that had fans debating fiercely before kickoff. It paid off as Newcastle snapped their five-match winless run.
