Tottenham's next five Premier League fixtures compared to Man Utd, Aston Villa and Man City
Tottenham were unable to end their recent run of poor results as they were beaten 2-1, at home, by Newcastle. Dominic Solanke opened the scoring, but goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon turned the game on its head in the first half.
A chaotic first 45 minutes kicked into gear early on with Solanke opening the scoring, only for Gordon to equalise moments later. Controversy surrounded Newcastle's first goal as Joelinton clearly handled in the build up, although VAR confirmed the decision on the pitch was correct, deeming his arm to be in a natural position.
Isak then put the visitors in front when he diverted Jacob Murphy's cross into the back of the net. Gordon went close just before half-time, but was denied by Brandon Austin. In the second half, Brennan Johnson went close to levelling as he struck the bar, while Solanke was denied by Martin Dubravka

football.london's verdict: Tottenham have a mixed bag when it comes to their next five Premier League games. Up first is one of the hardest fixture in the calendar, with Spurs facing Arsenal away from home in a North London Derby showdown.
Following that, another difficult trip awaits as the Lilywhites head to Goodison Park to take on Everton, who have lost just twice on their own patch this season. Spurs will then be huge favourites to beat Leicester City in the next game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Yet another difficult away game then arrives for Postecoglou and his players when they travel across London to meet Brentford. The final of Tottenham's next five league games is against Manchester United, who have already been beaten twice by Spurs.
