The game was led by home team Newcastle from the beginning. In the 5th minute of the first half, Dragicin flew over the crisis in Newcastle's penetration situation. In the ensuing attack, Isaac's cross struck Tottenham's goal post as it was, causing bloodshed. In the 9th minute of the first half, Barnes' mid-range shot from the left side of the penalty box arc, which received Gordon's pass, went a little off the Tottenham post.
Tottenham also launched a counterattack. In the 11th minute of the first half, Romero shook Newcastle's net by finishing a cross from Bissouma with a header, but Romero's position was already pointed out as offside and was not recognized as a score.
Newcastle continued to aim for Tottenham's back space. In the 15th minute of the first half, Gordon tried to get a pass after the back ball penetrated, but Romero's sharp tackle blocked the advance.
Tottenham also gradually threatened Newcastle. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Odover, who received Madison's pass in the counterattack, even tried to shoot after dribbling, but it went over the net. In the 25th minute of the first half, Sarr connected the ball given by Son Heung-min, who received Kulusevski's pass, with a mid-range shot, but was blocked by Pope's good defense. Sarr also received the ball in the 27th minute of the first half in the attack that followed Son Heung-min's pass and attempted a powerful winding, but it was caught by Pope's fingertips again. Son Heung-min also shook Newcastle as he moved to the center and the side. In the 28th minute of the first half, he shook his left with a dribble that drilled between Kelly's legs and even got a free kick.

Newcastle also pushed Tottenham in the second half. In the second minute of the second half, Isaac shook Tottenham's back space in a counterattack and advanced deep into the box. Dragushin, who followed shortly before attempting the last shot, blocked it with a tackle, and Isaac failed to try to shoot, and the ball fell into Vicario's arms.
Tottenham also kept knocking on the Newcastle goal for the equaliser. After Son Heung-min entered the box in the 10th minute of the second half, his shot was blocked by the defense that flew the body of the defense. In the ensuing attack, the prisoner's cross hit the top of the net as it was.
Tottenham's offensive eventually shook Newcastle to allow an equaliser. In the 11th minute of the second half, Tottenham aimed for the goal with Madison's shot from the right, and the ball was blocked by Pope's good defense and flowed to Johnson. Johnson's shot was a trajectory that went out of the goal, but Dan Burn's attempt to clear it over the net turned into an own goal as it headed inside the Newcastle goal.
Tottenham came forward to turn the game around after the equaliser. In the 15th minute of the second half, Porro finished the free kick he got in front of the penalty box himself, but headed over the goal. In the 20th minute of the second half, Johnson's cross couldn't go to Son Heung-min in the box and gave it to Pope.
Newcastle also had no intention of backing down. Jacob Murphy, who received Gordon's backheel pass in the 21st minute of the second half, tried to shoot as it was, but a powerful shot was blocked by Vicario. Pope's great save has made Tottenham cry. In the 30th minute of the second half, Pope fired a sharp shot that Madison attempted in front of the penalty box arc and blocked it from the corner of the goal.

Tottenham allowed the lead again with a gap in the back. Murphy, who received a pass from Guimarães in the 33rd minute of the second half, handed the ball to Isaac in the center of the box after the breakthrough, and pushed it into the goal to split Tottenham's goal.
Tottenham made a replacement for a turnaround. In the 37th minute of the second half, without Madison and Bissouma, Lucas Beribal and Rodrigo Bentancur were added. Tottenham then kept trying to attack. In the 44th minute of the second half, Werner drove the ball near the Newcastle box but was blocked by the last Dan Burn tackle. In the second half of extra time, Johnson's attempt to cross after the breakthrough did not go to anyone in the Tottenham box and flowed out of the box.

In Tottenham, expectations and praise for Son Heung-min were enormous ahead of the match, so there was great interest in whether he would score in two consecutive games. Son Heung-min started in the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 25th and scored two goals, helping his team win 4-0. At that time, Son Heung-min was more pleased because he even appeared as a captain including the release list due to his sluggish performance against Leicester.
After the match against Everton, praise for Son Heung-min poured out, and Son Heung-min's name was not omitted from various Lee Ju's teams. Son Heung-min was also named in Lee Ju's best 11 in the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) released by the British public broadcaster BBC. The EPL secretariat also announced the team of Lee Ju-yi in the second round of the league in the 2024-2025 season on its official website, including Son Heung-min. Legendary striker Alan Shearer, the selector, played centre-forward in Dominic Solanke's absence and scored twice against Everton," he said, explaining the reason for the selection. In addition, soccer statistics media Huscoord Dotcom has been listed on various teams of migration, including the EPL's Best 11.
However, Son Heung-min was unable to continue his praise for two consecutive games. After finishing the league game in a regrettable mood, Son Heung-min will join the Korean national team for the A-match in September after this game.
His performance in the upcoming North London derby has become even more important, failing to prevent his team's defeat. Tottenham will play Arsenal at home on the 15th after completing the A-match period in September.
