Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle: Isak Scores Again To Hand Spurs Loss

In-form Isak Alexander scored in a seventh straight Premier League game to earn Newcastle a 2-1 win at injury-hit Tottenham. The Sweden striker grabbed the 38th-minute winner and there was a hint of fortune about it, with Tottenham defender Radu Dragu in getting the slightest of touches on a cross and deflecting the ball onto the foot of Isak. The ball dribbled into the net for Isak's 13th goal of the season, and ninth in his past seven games.
