Newcastle United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Head

Submitted by daniel on Sat, 31/08/2024 - 00:02

Newcastle United have the chance to win their third consecutive match at home against Sunday's opponents Tottenham Hotspur when they host Ange Postecoglou's side at St James' Park in the Premier League.

Both teams have four points after two Premier League games, though Tottenham enjoyed a victory in their most recent game having beaten Everton 4-0 at home on August 24.

Newcastle drew 1-1 with Bournemouth on August 25, but they were fortunate to have come away from the Vitality Stadium with a point considering the Cherries had a controversial winner ruled out in second-half stoppage time when Dango Ouattara was adjudged to have used his arm to steer the ball into the back of the net.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 148

Newcastle wins: 53

Draws: 29

Spurs wins: 66

Tottenham will not have fond memories of their recent trips to St James' Park considering the Toon won 4-0 in 2023-24 and 6-1 in 2022-23.

Spurs' Micky van de Ven's performance in his side's 4-0 loss last term on April 13 was particularly alarming, with the usually sure-footed defender slipping before Alexander Isak scored Newcastle's first in the 30th minute.

The Dutch defender's nightmare was far from over given he flailed when he tried to challenge Anthony Gordon in the penalty area in the 32nd minute, but his clumsy tackle meant that the winger had ample space in the box to net his team's second of the game.

Spurs' 6-1 loss to Newcastle in 2022-23 is just as infamous a result, with the Toon racing into a 5-0 lead after just 21 minutes.

Interim boss Cristian Stellini, who took charge of the club following Antonio Conte's dismissal, was sacked from his temporary role on April 24, 2023, just a day after his side's 6-1 defeat.

At St James' Park, Newcastle have won 30 times, drawn on 20 occasions and lost 25 matches against Spurs, with the most recent loss being a 3-2 defeat on October 17, 2021 when Nuno Espirito Santo was in charge of the Londoners.

In the last 10 competitive meetings between the sides, Spurs have won four games, drawn two and lost four, with their last win occurring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season in December 2023.

Meetings between the sides have produced 477 goals, with Tottenham scoring 256 goals in contrast to Newcastle's 221.

The Toon have scored 140 goals against Spurs at St James' Park while Spurs have scored 114 times, with the last six Premier League matches between the teams seeing a total of 30 goals scored.
