Eric Dier scored a late own goal but Steve Bruce was unable to steer his side to victory on his 1,000 match in management.

The game was marred by a medical emergency in the stands which caused play to be temporarily suspended just before half time. The match resumed after the supporter was stabilised at the ground and went to hospital.

It was Newcastle’s first match since the club completed a Saudi-backed £305 million takeover last week and before kickoff, new chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and co-owner Amanda Staveley received a standing ovation from the supporters.

The home support was celebrating once again after two minutes when Wilson headed in from Javier Manquillo’s cross to put the hosts in front.

Spurs responded well and equalised through Ndombele 15 minutes later with a curling shot into the far corner.

The visitors made it 2-1 shortly afterwards when Kane looped the ball over Karl Darlow. The strike was initially ruled out for offside but was later awarded following a VAR review as the England captain grabbed his first Premier League goal of the season.

After 40 minutes, play was temporarily suspended when players were alerted to a medical emergency in the Newcastle stand.

Moments after the restart, Spurs grabbed a third goal when Son finished off a flowing team move.

The second half was a subdued affair but Newcastle were reduced to 10 men late on after substitute Jonjo Shelvey picked up two bookings in a 20-minute cameo.

Dier’s comical own goal from a free kick gave Newcastle hope but they were unable to grab an equaliser.

The result sees Spurs leapfrog Manchester United into fifth in the league table while Newcastle stay in the relegation zone.
