Nabil Bentaleb 5, Matt Ritchie 8; Harry Kane 7, Son Heung-min 8 - Newcastle v Tottenham player ratings

• 

  NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Martin Dubravka – 6, Spectacularly pawed away a 30-yard curler from Son, shortly after conceding from the same player. EPA

• 

  Emil Krafth – 5, Played because Danny Rose was unable to against his parent club, but did not provide the influence the loanee might have done. AFP

• 

  Federico Fernandez – 6, Booked for a foul on Lo Celso. Did not appear too troubled otherwise, but Spurs were clinical when they had their chances. Reuters

• 

  Fabian Schar – 7, Sparked an attack in the second half with a purposeful forward run. Wore an arm in the face from Harry Kane straight after. Reuters

• 

  DeAndre Yedlin – 5, Popped up in the centre-forward position, which went to show how keen he was to make an impression against his old club, before being subbed. AFP

• 

  Matt Ritchie – 8, A ready source of crosses – with either foot – and hit a sweet strike for the leveller. Reuters

• 

  Nabil Bentaleb – 5, Would have wanted a greater impact against the club where he first cut his teeth, but was inconspicuous. EPA

• 

  Miguel Almiron – 6, Had two good chances early on, one blocked and one blazed over, and his influence waned thereafter. Reuters

• 

  Jonjo Shelvey – 7, Wasted a fine headed chance from a Ritchie cross early on, but was Newcastle’s best source of midfield creativity. Reuters

• 

  Allan Saint-Maximin – 7, Plenty of drive and dynamism, but not always in the most dangerous positions for Newcastle. EPA

• 

  Dwight Gayle – 6, Hit the post with a clever flicked header just before half time, but seemed agitated with the supply chain for much of the time. EPA

• 

  SUBS: Valentino Lazaro (on for Yedlin, 55') – 7, His driving run with his first touch of the ball set up the chance for Ritchie’s equaliser. Reuters

• 

  Joelinton (on for Gayle, 69') – 5, Enough time, but little opportunity to make a difference after coming on as a second-half sub. Reuters

• 

  Matt Longstaff (on for Bentaleb, 69') – 6, Tried to look busy after his late introduction but his chances were few. EPA

• 

  TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 6, No chance with Ritchie’s blistering strike, but was equal to anything else Newcastle’s forwards had to offer. Reuters

• 

  Serge Aurier – 7, Remarkable he felt able to play, two days after his brother’s death. Not as buccaneering as usual, but that was no bad thing. Reuters

• 

  Toby Alderweireld – 7, Unlucky to incur a rare yellow card for a foul on Ritchie, but was an image of composure thereafter. Reuters

• 

  Davinson Sanchez – 7, Bravely headed Almiron’s shot away early on, and made an important second half block, too. Reuters

• 

  Ben Davies – 5, Made a bungled clearance to put his side under pressure in the first half, and struggled to cope with Saint-Maximin. AFP

• 

  Harry Winks – 7, Tidy and unspectacular, as is his standard. Made some timely interventions from a defensive perspective. Reuters

• 

  Giovani Lo Celso – 7, Showed great tenacity to set up Son for the opener and was assured on the ball until his substitution on the hour mark. Reuters

• 

  Moussa Sissoko – 6, The heavy schedule might be counting against a player whose game relies on athleticism, as he was subdued against his old team. Reuters

• 

  Lucas Moura – 8, A constant threat with both his dribbling and passing before succumbing to a second-half injury. Reuters

• 

  Son Heung-min – 8, Put Spurs into the lead with his 18th goal of the season, and was not shy to work back for his team. EPA

• 

  Harry Kane – 7, Still not at full sharpness, and Spurs attacks often slowed once the ball reached him, but he made no mistake with his two headed goals. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Eric Lamela (on for Lo Celso, 62') – 7, Just what Spurs required after his introduction for his compatriot Lo Celso, and he made the clincher for Kane. AFP

• 

  Steven Bergwijn (on for Moura, 57') – 8, Immediate impact with an appetising cross for Kane’s goal after replacing Moura. EPA

• 

  Jan Vertonghen (on for Kane, 90') – NA, On to use up some time and bolster the defence straight after Spurs had clinched it. AFP

Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur maintained their late push for a place in Europe with a 3-1 against Newcastle United.

The Spurs striker scored the 200th goal of his club career as the away side edged back into the lead after Matt Ritchie had cancelled out Son Heung-min’s first-half strike.

He then headed the goal that killed off Newcastle’s challenge in injury time.
