Newcastle have come down from a goal down to now lead 2-1 against Tottenham.
Dominic Solanke gave Spurs the lead in the 4th minute through a lovely head from a brilliant Pedro Porro cross.
However, it did not take the visitors long to equalise. Spurs gave away the ball at the back and while there was a blatant shout for a handball in the build-up, Anthony Gordon finished off Bruno Guimaraes’ pass to make it 1-1 in the 6th minute.
And in the 38th minute, the Magpies turned the game around with Isak finishing off from close range after some poor defending from Radu Dragusin.
Murphy plays a dangerous cross into the box which the Romanian fails to deal with. His touch guides the ball towards the goal which Isak then pokes in to give the Magpies the lead.
