"Jacob Ramsey fired Newcastle United to a precious 2-1 Premier League win to pile the pressure on Thomas Frank and increase Tottenham Hotspur 's relegation fears. Spurs' sorry domestic form coupled with an 11-player list of absentees had heightened concerns that the team were in a survival battle and this latest abject display will only serve as more evidence that the north London club are in a crisis situation."
"A response followed and Archie Gray levelled in the 64th minute, but Ramsey swept home four minutes later to inflict a fifth defeat in nine matches on Tottenham, who have won only two of their last 17 league matches. Frank faced "you're getting sacked in the morning" chants from his own supporters ahead of full-time, with Spurs' ownership left with a big decision to make over the head coach position with 12 days until the next fixture at home to rivals Arsenal."
Jacob Ramsey scored the decisive goal as Newcastle United beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the Premier League. Malick Thiaw's stoppage-time effort gave Newcastle a deserved half-time lead. Archie Gray equalised in the 64th minute, and Ramsey swept home four minutes later to restore Newcastle's advantage. Tottenham suffered a fifth defeat in nine matches and have won only two of their last 17 league fixtures. Spurs entered the match with an 11-player injury list and booed support that chanted for former manager Mauricio Pochettino. Thomas Frank faced chants calling for his dismissal, leaving Spurs' ownership with a key decision before the Arsenal fixture.
