Emmanuel Adebayor put Spurs ahead in the first-half,but Sammy Ameobi made an instant impact by equalising seven seconds after his introduction at the start of the second half, and fellow substitute Remy Cabella laid on Ayoze Perez's maiden Newcastle goal to complete an impressive fightback.
A win for Newcastle at White Hart Lane brought them within a point of Spurs in the league table - not bad for a club enduring a crisis start to the season. At this stage in the 2014/15 term, both sides are underachieving, but Spurs settled their nerves early in the second half with an 18th minute goal from Adebayor. Tottenham had enjoyed 76% of possession after 15 minutes, and Adebayor started and finished a smart move in the Newcastle box to put the home side a goal to the good. Newcastle had started the game looking disinterested. The Magpies looked reluctant to press Spurs, who were happy to control possession and looked comfortable on the ball.
