Tottenham was denied by another controversial handball penalty in injury time when Callum Wilson pulled Newcastle into a 1-1 draw on Sunday. The Spurs only had Lucas Moura’s goal to show a dominant display in the first half and were forced to pay when Eric Dier was penalized after a VAR review when the ball grazed his arm in defiance of Andy Carroll. Wilson converted the penalty with Newcastle’s first shot on goal, prompting José Mourinho to march down the tunnel before the full-time whistle sounded. The drama did not end there, as one of Mourinho’s assistants, Nuno Santos, received a red card for taking his disagreement with the referee too far. “
Despite all their complaints, Mourinho’s men will also have to reflect on not taking advantage of their opportunities before the break in front of the spectator Gareth Bale. The Welshman was all smiles in the stands, but still not fit enough to make his second Spurs debut due to a knee injury, while Mourinho knocked Dele Alli completely out of his 18-man-per-second squad. consecutive league game. However, with Harry Kane in supreme form, there seemed little chance of a repeat of last season’s scoreline when Newcastle emerged victorious 1-0 from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the third weekend of the season. Karl Darlow in the visiting goal was busy from the third minute when he took a Giovani lo Celso free kick and got up to block Kane’s follow-up effort. The England captain again tested Newcastle’s cap with a nosedive header moments later. Kane provided four assists for Son Heung-min in a 5-2 win over Southampton last weekend and was the creator when the Spurs finally broke the deadlock in 25 minutes. Moura’s place is most at risk when Bale is fit to return, but he reminded Mourinho of the threat he can pose by tying his first Premier League goal since December with a low center from Kane. The Kane-Son connection almost gave Moura another touch when the South Korean’s crossover attempt was cut off when he himself could have been better for the goal.
Son went for goal when he hit the wood twice with shots from outside the box, while Darlow made another fantastic save from Kane’s long-distance effort to somehow keep Newcastle’s deficit to just one before the break. The Spurs’ attack flow was interrupted in the second half without Son, who was replaced at halftime. But there was still very little of Newcastle left to fear at the other end until the dramatic finale. In fact, the closest the visitors came to scoring before the penalty was when Ben Davies crashed a punt on teammate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the ball bounced wide with a minute to go. But in a weekend already marked by complaints about the new interpretation of the handball law in the Premier League, Tottenham were affected despite the fact that Dier clearly had no intention of handling the ball. Hugo Lloris reached into Wilson’s penalty, but couldn’t help himself, prompting Mourinho to leave in disgust.
