Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Newcastle.

Here are some of your comments:

Tottenham fans

Kelechi: The boys put in a decent shift. That equaliser, so soon after our goal and with the controversy around it, was psychologically damaging for us in the first half. Say what you will, but a hand caused the ball to go in the direction of the goalscorer - that should be a handball foul. How Joelinton and Dan Burn survived getting sent off is still surprising to me. We move on.

Colin: I am so confused with the handball law now. I think we should revert to the original interpretation: ball to hand only. Ifab have totally confused us all, referees included. We played much better in the second half but we are too vulnerable defensively.

Peter: I thought Lucas Bergvall was outstanding, I was surprised he was substituted off. Spurs needed to score to equalise, with proven attacking players. Full credit to the substitute goalkeeper, he was confident and played very well.

Michael: At least we are consistent about being inconsistent! We are definitely going backwards!

Josh: Our youngest team for 10 years. A goal that arguably shouldn't have stood for the opponents. And 45 minutes played without a recognised centre-back. Injuries have devastated Spurs but winning ways will return with the players. Ange Postecoglou shouldn't be blamed for these results. I like Daniel Levy but he has a massive window to ensure the team is fleshed out to compete across all tournaments.

Newcastle fans

Geoff: A game of two periods. First half, we were outstanding and well worth the lead at half-time. However, we were a different side in the second half and, in the end, were fortunate to win. I know Eddie Howe has his eye on midweek but his substitutions were bizarre. Every time he made one, we got worse. We still gained three points but we were nowhere near as good as previous games.

Mike: That was a hard three points. Where did the 12 minutes of extra time come from? My fingernails were down to my knuckles.

Ian: Newcastle need to take more of their chances when they come. They can't quite kill the game off when they are leading and this allows teams the opportunity to keep fighting when they think they have a chance to get back into the match.

Jamie: I'm very happy with the result. We don't travel down south well, so a win is always important. I have to feel sympathetic to Spurs, I hope they stick with Postecoglou and build a squad with the depth that makes them able to compete. We also need greater depth, but the result proves again that Newcastle's first XI can challenge most sides in the league.
