Son Heung-min scored a late goal for Tottenham Hotspur to seal a narrow win over Newcastle United which fires Spurs into second.

Newcastle looked to have done enough to win a point at Wembley with a dogged, defensive display.

Salomon Rondon even came close to sending them into the lead when his second-half header beat Hugo Lloris, only to hit the woodwork.

But with time running out, Son delivered. His low strike skidded across the turf and bounced under the body of Martin Dúbravka, sealing a 1-0 win.

Tottenham now sit second in the Premier League table, one point ahead of Manchester City and four behind league leaders Liverpool.
