Son Heung-Min scored his second goal in four days as Tottenham eventually saw off battling Newcastle 1-0 at Wembley and leapfrogged Manchester City into second place in the Premier League.
Just when it looked like Spurs might register their first draw this season, Son fired an 83rd-minute shot from outside the area which somehow crept under goalkeeper Martin Dubravka to put them four points behind Liverpool who play on Monday.
It was Son's ninth goal in his past 10 appearances for Tottenham and a cruel blow for Newcastle who looked to have done enough to earn a point before the keeper's howler.

Spurs are again without captain and star striker Harry Kane after he injured his ankle against Manchester United on 13th January.
However manager Mauricio Pochettino is happy with how Kane is recovering but does not know when the striker will be back.
He said: "I cannot tell you if he is ahead of schedule or not. We assess him day-by-day.
"He is showing on his social media that he looks strong and very fit and very well, running and doing exercises.
"You know him very well, he is very strong and is a guy that puts 200% in to be back as soon as possible.
"He's determined to try and recover as soon as possible and be available as soon as possible. We will see, we need to assess day-by-day, week-by-week but we are happy with how he is recovering."
