Newcastle 1 Spurs 2

Spurs opened their Premier League campaign with a victory at Newcastle for the second year running as goalline technology set them on their way.

Jan Vertonghen’s early header put Spurs ahead, with technology confirming his effort had crossed the goalline by 9mm.

That advantage was short-lived as the hosts equalised 149 seconds later, when Joselu headed in Matt Ritchie’s superb cross after being left unmarked six yards from goal.

However Tottenham, fielding several of their World Cup stars including England’s Harry Kane and Dele Alli, grew stronger as the game progressed.

And as Newcastle’s early energy began to wane, Alli put the visitors back in front, timing a back-post run to perfection to meet Serge Aurier’s cross with a textbook header past home goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

New signings Ki Sung-yueng, Fabian Schar, Salomon Rondon and Yoshinori Muto all started as substitutes for Rafael Benitez’s team, who threatened to level for a second time after the break.

But Kenedy spurned a glorious opportunity with a poor first touch, Mohamed Diame thrashed a shot against the post and Rondon, on as a substitute, hit the crossbar with a deflected shot.

It was the second season in a row that Tottenham had won their opening fixture in the north east, with Alli scoring on both occasions.

I’m Still Standing

Elton John

You could never know what it’s like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there’s a cold lonely light that shines from you
You’ll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well, look at me, I’m a-coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I’m still standing you just fade away

Don’t you know I’m still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You’re starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you’d be a clown by now

You know I’m still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don’t you know that I’m still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I’m still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
