Tottenham 1 - Newcastle 2: Perez hits winner as Spurs drop below Liverpool and Man Utd
AYOZE PEREZ added to Tottenham's woes as he hit the match winner for Newcastle in an intriguing encounter at White Hart Lane.
Spurs were hoping to bounce back from their disappointing 4-1 reverse to Manchester City last weekend.
And they looked to be back on track when they took the lead through Emmanuel Adebayor.
The striker rose highest in the area to power home a header from a Ryan Mason delivery.
Newcastle however punished Spurs for their first-half profligacy when they equalised 20 seconds after the restart.
After chasing down a Jack Colback ball, Sammy Amoebi fizzed home a stunning shot past Hugo Lloris.
And Ayoze Perez completed the turnaround 12 minutes later when he flicked home a deft header.
Roberto Soldado had a glorious chance when he came off the bench, but couldn't turn the ball home.
Spurs now drop to 11th in the Premier league table.
