Newcastle vs Tottenham: Micky van de Ven Premier League news
Micky van de Ven had a forgettable afternoon in the North East as Tottenham Hotspur suffered a heavy defeat against Newcastle United. The error-prone defender was at fault for three of the four Newcastle goals, causing a major blow to Spurs’ Champions League hopes. Newcastle’s stellar performance at St. James’ Park boosted their own continental credentials as they secured a convincing victory.
The first half witnessed Alexander Isak scoring the opener, followed by Anthony Gordon finding the net just 95 seconds later, both goals exposing Van de Ven’s defensive errors. In the second half, Isak and Fabian Schar added two more goals, leading to a dismal day for Tottenham and their supporters. Gordon was particularly impressive, catching the eye with his instrumental role in the first two goals for Newcastle, which could strengthen his chances for a spot in the England squad for the Euros.
The victory elevated Newcastle to sixth place in the table, revitalizing their European race campaign. Tottenham’s woes were further compounded by a missed opportunity from Timo Werner, whose wastefulness in front of goal continued to haunt him. The defeat not only dented Spurs’ Champions League ambitions but also led to a slip in the Premier League table and goal difference.
Overall, it was an agonizing defeat for Tottenham, with Newcastle delivering a performance that reinvigorated their European aspirations and stunted Spurs’ progress in the league.
