'Unacceptable' - Newcastle United fume at first-half performance vs Tottenham

Newcastle fans have taken to social media to give their view on the first-half performance against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Magpies went into the game looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion in their last Premier League outing last week.

The team went a way to doing that in recording a 7-0 win over Morecambe FC in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

However, a disappointing 45 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has erased any momentum built from that win.

Lucas Moura’s back-post finish put Jose Mourinho’s man into a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute, and Spurs could have added to their lead in the remaining 20 minutes, with Son Heung-min hitting the woodwork on two occasions.

During the game, on watching Newcastle fans have shared their anger at the performance of the team.

Here is what some had to say.

Newcastle started the season on a positive note with a 2-0 opening day win over West Ham United.

They have 45 more minutes to turn the game around.

The team will know that Tottenham are playing the first of four games in seven days and could look to take advantage of that.

But failing that, they will look to the home game against Burnley for an improved performance and to get their season back on track.
