3 mins Kevin Danso dispossessed Jacob Murphy deep in the United's half and Brennan Johnson took possession. Advancing towards goal he hit a low shot from the edge of the box that deflected off Dan Burn and beyond the diving Nick Pope. Brennan replicated Son's "camera" celebration. 0-1

38 mins Joelinton and Bruno exchange passes as they broke over halfway and Gordon continued the attack as Bruno dashed goalwards down the right hand channel. Gordon switched play to the left, playing in Harvey Barnes.

Reaching the box, he cut inside in trademark style to elude Pedro Porro before hitting a rising right-footed shot that beat Antonin Kinsky via his near post. An absolute beauty. 1-1

Half time: Spurs 1 Newcastle 1

Full time: Spurs 1 Newcastle 1

Eddie Howe said:

"Another really competitive game. Quite strong both teams in the sense of some good challenges.

"A very Premier League like game which is again what you want at this stage. We're building and I think it was an improved performance again from us.

"Good response to a difficult opening to the game. I thought we were the better team in the first half - the second half was probably more even.

"Delighted with how the players responded today and how we looked physically.

"We conceded a goal really early but a really strong response which is what we're going to need and we did that really well last year.

"Delighted with the players, delighted with the effort and commitment."

On the Isak situation:

"You have to earn the right to train with us.

"We are Newcastle United. The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad - you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here.

"We will make sure that any player does that to earn the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal.

"Of course I'd like him to be (at training), but whether he will I don’t know at this moment in time. We have been here with the time difference, preparing for training and for games. Other people have been dealing with that situation back at home."

On transfers:

"There’s not much time, especially when you consider you’ve got to get whoever comes in, and I’m talking any position here, up to speed with how we play, intricacies of what we do. It’s not easy.

‘We’re still actively in the market. We’re looking for players. Obviously we lost Callum Wilson who in himself is a massive loss and then you add that to Alex (Isak) who’s not been with us. We’ve certainly felt their absence.’

On the collective response to Son's substitution:

"I think it was very instinctive from the players. I think that speaks volumes for him as a person and him as a footballer that both teams recognize the way he's played the game. 

"I think it's not just his ability. It's his attitude. The way he's handled himself, conducted himself has been impeccable in England. So I think that was great to see from both sets of players. I was very pleased with my players' reaction to that."

Howe pre-game press conference quotes:

On Alexander Isak:

"I know where he is (Spain), really, through the media. From that perspective, it’s difficult for me to go into any kind of detail. The situation is far from ideal and is quite complex.’

"I am very much removed from anything that's happening back home. I was made aware that there was a bid yesterday - that bid was turned down all before I even heard about it. There's people back in England dealing with the situation. 

"I really don't know what's going to happen next, but from our perspective we still support Alex in every way, and my wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again.

"It’s difficult, because you don’t know what is going to happen from this point. We can only deal with the reality. The reality is we had a first bid from Liverpool and I believe that was turned down. From this point onwards, let’s see what happens.

"In terms of trying to upset players and all that kind of stuff, from my perspective, we can only talk about our conduct. We try to do things in the right way. 

"Signing players is always complex. We just try to do what we think is right. I can’t talk about other clubs, that’s not for me to say.”

On the transfer market:

"We're looking for the best players that we can get. Whatever our target position is, we're looking for the best so I see all situations open and available to us. 

"I feel that's the only way that we're going to get to where we want to go, which is to maximise, and it's quality over quantity. It always has been. That's always been the way that we try to work and the way that we try to recruit, and I think we've done it pretty well to this point.

"It's been a challenging summer, because we've missed out on various targets for loads of different reasons, but we're still very competitive, and we're still in there trying to bring very good players to the club - and that won't change until the window shuts."

Thomas Frank said: 

"I thought it was a good game between two competitive teams. We scored a great goal from high pressure where we were winning it high. It was a big, big part of what we like to do. 

"I also think we won it high, maybe four, five or six times where we could have created more of those situations and then we dropped a little bit back. Then in the second half, we got back to more of that. Fair result in an even game."

On James Maddison:

"It's like in life and football, I think sometimes life and football can be brutal, but also sometimes very beautiful. So I think it was brutal in what happened to Madders. It looks like a a bad injury. 

"Of course we don't know exactly the status on it. It didn't look good - it’s the same knee as the previous injury. Of course, we don't know the full assessment of it, so we need to see that.”

On Son's substitution:

"Unbelievable, beautiful scenes with his teammates. The big respect from Newcastle, can't praise that highly enough from their players on the pitch.

"I knew he would play this game no matter what. If this was potentially his last game or not, he would captain the team.

"So I think the only thing was I spoke a little bit with him that I'd like to make sure we'd honour him in the right way, and of course have a little bit of a professional view on it. So I needed to have other players on the pitch as well. So bits like that.

"We had the walk around and then the teammates gathered around and he was emotional. In the changing room it was more of the same. I just said a few things but not much because it’s about Sonny and then he said a few things. It was beautiful."
