Dan Burn scores comical own-goal after Nick Pope blunder during Tottenham's defeat to Newcastle

Newcastle may have beat Tottenham but Dan Burn will probably have a sleepless night after putting the ball in his own net during the 2-1 win at St James' Park.

Spurs will come away frustrated after suffering defeat but playing well for large periods of the game.

Alexander Isak secured the victory late on with a simple tap-in as the Magpies weathered a second-half storm from the visitors.

Newcastle had led through Harvey Barnes but Tottenham drew level in comical circumstances,

Nick Pope made a mess of a tame James Maddison effort before Brennan Johnson put the ball across goal.
