Tottenham summoned yet another late winner to beat Newcastle and ease past Manchester City into second place in the Premier League. It was Heung-min Son who found the net in the 83rd minute just as it was beginning to seem like another wasted opportunity for Mauricio Pochettino’s title outsiders. Son collected a knock down from Fernando Llorente, shifted the ball onto his right foot and fired a shot which beat Martin Dubravka but really ought to have been saved. Son Heung-min scored his second goal in two games to earn Tottenham a vital victory over Newcastle at Wembley With less than ten minutes left, Son let fly from the edge of the box and his effort squirmed past Martin Dubravka MATCH FACTS, LIVE LEAGUE TABLE AND MATCH ZONE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (4-3-3): Lloris 6; Trippier 6.5, Sanchez 6.5, Alderweireld 6, Vertonghen 6.5; Sissoko 6.5, Winks 7, Eriksen 7.5; Lamela 6 (Rose 78), Moura 5.5 (Llorente 60, 6), Son 6.5 (Dier 89).

Spurs celebrated as they moved ahead of City, who play Arsenal on Sunday, and closed to within four points of Liverpool, who are at West Ham on Monday. They may have slipped out of two cup competitions in four days without the goal threat of Harry Kane and Dele Alli but are showing true fighting spirit in the Premier League. Harry Winks turned one point into three with the last kick of the game at Fulham and Fernando Llorente clinched victory against Watford on Wednesday with a goal in the 88th minute. This time it was Son and Tottenham have set a new Premier League record of 29 games without a draw. Pochettino tweaked his team and reverted to a back-four, with Jan Vertonghen at left-back and Lucas Moura deployed as “false nine” centre forward, flanked either side by Son and Erik Lamela. Davinson Sanchez takes flight and ends up tangled with Salomon Rondon as the pair duel for possession A home supporter shows his support for Tottenham winger Son by displaying a replica shirt before the match Tottenham have the best of the game early on and Lucas Moura plants a free header wide of the Newcastle goal The first opportunity fell to Moura and he wasted it. Lamela’s left-footed dink into the penalty area found him unmarked in front of goal, played on-side by Fabian Schar but Moura’s header squirted well wide. It was the sort of chance Pochettino might have wished to see falling to Llorente but the tall Basque striker who headed a late winner against Watford was back on the bench having started in all of the previous four games in the absence of Kane and Alli. Tottenham dominated possession and probed with patience. Newcastle defended deep and in numbers, well-organised and tightly packed, offering few gaps for passes to be threaded into feet, although their three big centre-halves were strangely vulnerable in the air. One first-half cross by Vertonghen skipped high off the turf and was headed against the bar by Lamela. Then Moura missed the target again, another header, as Spurs kept the pressure on from the rebound. Dubravka dived low to beat out a volley from Moussa Sissoko, who was enthusiastically jeered by the away fans who have not forgotten the manner of his exit for Spurs in 2016, and Davinson Sanchez was unable to adjust his feet quickly enough as the ball flashed out from the goalkeeper. Erik Lamela comes closest to opening the scoring for Tottenham but his header hits the bar before bouncing clear Newcastle have an opportunity midway through the first half, but Ayoze Perez sees his effort blocked by Toby Alderweireld The follow is also kept out and Rondon is denied the chance to open the scoring for the visitors at Wembley Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris rushes out of his goal to deny the Venezuelan a shot from a through-ball For all their possession, it would be the only effort on target in the first half. Newcastle, with £20million record-signing Miguel Almiron unavailable as he waited for a visa and international clearance, ventured forward rarely but grew more confident on the counter-attack as half-time approached. Salomon Rondon and Ayoze Perez had glimpses of goal and they forced a couple of corners but Tottenham were able to close them down without Hugo Lloris being called into action. Rondon headed against a post, early in the second half, climbing above Toby Alderweireld to reach a cross from DeAndre Yedlin, a former Spurs full-back who, having kept Son quiet in the first half, became an attacking threat after the interval. Lloris made a flying save to deny Perez but Tottenham continued to dominate the ball and Sanchez headed wide from a corner delivered by Lamela. In the absence of the injured Harry Kane and Dele Alli, Son is tasked with driving his team forward in search of a breakthrough Centre-back Alderweireld marshals his troops as the hosts look to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool at the top Lloris can only watch as Rondon's header beats him but hits the post and bounces away from the goal With Spurs struggling to break down their opponents, boss Mauricio Pochettino opts to send on Fernando Llorente On the hour, Pochettino turned to Llorente and the presence of a target-man freed Son who drifted inside and became more influential. Schar produced a terrific goal line clearance to protect Newcastle’s clean sheet. Son’s diving header glanced another corner towards goal and Christian Eriksen thought his clever flick would prove enough to find the net. Dubravka was beaten by Schar scrambled back to hook the ball out before it had crossed the line. Llorente made a hash of his first chance and claimed the low sun had interfered with his vision as he lost the flight of a deep pass from Eriksen and headed it high over the goal. Matt Ritchie made another vital clearance to frustrate Eriksen before Son found a way through and relief washed around the stadium. Newcastle defended bravely and have enjoyed a positive week with an unexpected win against Manchester City and two new signings. Antonio Barreca made his debut off the bench as a late sub. But they cannot win at Wembley, a run now stretching to eight game and all the way back to 1955 and the days of Jackie Milburn. Christian Erikisen's flick beats Martin Dubravka, but Fabian Schar desperately hooks it off the line to deny Spurs All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
