Jacob Ramsey fired Newcastle United to a rare away win to give head coach Eddie Howe a timely boost and keep the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank.

Both bosses had to field questions about their positions in the build-up to this crunch Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following a poor run of results.

Frank did not hide the fact his injury-hit side were "desperate" for their first league victory of 2026 while Howe, similarly, called on his players to show "our feeling of how important this is to us" after a run of just one win in eight games in all competitions.

It was Howe's team who delivered for their manager on a night a section of Spurs supporters chanted "You're getting sacked in the morning" in Frank's direction as chief executive Vinai Venkatesham watched on.

Newcastle, who lined up without a recognised striker, took the lead through an unlikely scorer in defender Malick Thiaw in first-half stoppage time.

Guglielmo Vicario managed to parry Thiaw's initial header from Anthony Elanga's cross, but the Newcastle centre-back was quickest to react and got there ahead of Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray to stab the ball into the net and send the away end into raptures.

Spurs, to their credit, briefly rallied after the break and the hosts drew level from their first corner of the night when Xavi Simons' delivery was headed back across goal by Sarr and Gray hooked the ball into the net.

Frank punched the air on the touchline as the stadium erupted around him, but Spurs were not level for long.

Anthony Gordon danced his way into the box and fed Ramsey, who picked out the bottom corner with a clever first-time finish to score his maiden goal for the club following his summer move from Aston Villa.

Newcastle held out to win just their third league game on the road this season and move up to 10th, while Spurs slip to 16th.

Dango Ouattara scored a dramatic late winner as Brentford ended their 92-year wait for a victory against Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Brentford manager Keith Andrews had talked about how this "cauldron can rattle teams coming to town" before the game, but his high-flying side showed their mettle once more on the road to record an impressive double over the Magpies - the first time since the 1934-35 campaign in the second tier.

It looked like the teams were set for a share of the spoils after Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes scored a penalty to make it 2-2 with 11 minutes to go.

But there was still time for another twist in an topsy-turvy game when the impressive Dango Ouattara fired the ball through Nick Pope's legs in the 85th minute to leave Andrews and his staff punching the air in delight.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe, by contrast, tasted defeat for the third game in a row in all competitions.

Defender Sven Botman had headed the hosts in front from Sandro Tonali's corner in the 24th minute, but Brentford came roaring back - just like the Bees did in their 3-1 win in November's reverse fixture.

This time Ouattara skipped away from Kieran Trippier down the left and scooped a cross to the back post where Vitaly Janelt got ahead of Botman to head the ball down past Pope to level.

The visitors had been aggrieved not to be awarded a penalty in the opening stages after Trippier tugged Keane Lewis-Potter's shirt in the box.

However, they got their chance from the spot just before half-time after stand-in captain Mathias Jensen's goalbound effort struck the hand of Jacob Murphy inside the box.

There was a lengthy review by the video assistant referee (VAR), but referee Andy Madley's decision stood and Thiago sent Pope the wrong way to score his 17th goal of the season.

Newcastle tried to find a way back into the game in the second half as Howe turned to his bench, and the hosts showed their own powers of recovery when Guimaraes won his side a penalty following a trip by Michael Kayode inside the box.

Madley pointed to the spot after consulting his pitchside monitor and Guimaraes calmly placed the ball straight down the middle to make it 2-2.

But there was still time for Ouattara to net in successive games as Brentford climbed to seventh place in the table and opened up a six-point gap on 12th-placed Newcastle.

Manchester City booked a tantalising Carabao Cup final against Premier League leaders Arsenal by hammering holders Newcastle 5-1 on aggregate in a one-sided semi-final.

Trailing 2-0 heading into the second leg, Eddie Howe's side needed something special in Wednesday's return game at Etihad Stadium but endured the worst possible start as Omar Marmoush's sixth minute goal set City on their way to a 10th final in the competition.

Marmoush, starting in place of Erling Haaland, nipped in and saw a deflected strike loop over Aaron Ramsdale and into the back of the net, while the Newcastle goalkeeper denied Tijjani Reijnders with a stunning save shortly after.

The visitors had chances to hit back but James Trafford did brilliantly to smother the ball at the feet of both Joe Willock and Anthony Gordon - and those near misses proved severe as they were punished by City thereafter.

Marmoush headed in from close range on the half hour mark and Reijnders slotted in a loose ball before half-time to make certain of the tie and allow the home supporters to enjoy a stress-free second period.

Anthony Elanga pulled a goal back for Newcastle on 62 minutes with a fine curling effort and Harvey Barnes had another disallowed.

But the damage had long been done as Pep Guardiola's side confirmed their place in the League Cup final on Sunday, 22 March at Wembley Stadium.

Newcastle United Women fell to a first WSL2 defeat under Tanya Oxtoby, away to league leaders Charlton Athletic Women.

First-half goals from Jodie Hutton and Katie Bradley put the Addicks ahead at the break, and while an Oona Sevenius strike just after the hour mark provided United with a platform to kick on, they were unable to rescue a point at The Valley.

There were two debuts for United in London, with Kaitlyn Torpey and Ashanti Akpan coming in for Charlotte Wardlaw and Lois Joel, but they were unable to help extend the Lasses' seven-game unbeaten run in the league.

Newcastle found themselves pinned back very quickly in the first half, and a lofted ball to Amalie Thestrup at the back post forced Anna Tamminen to scramble across her line and claw her effort away.

However, Tamminen could do little three minutes later after initially saving Karin Muya's close-range effort; a goalmouth scramble saw the ball land at the feet of Hutton inside the six-yard box, and she made no mistake by firing her effort into the roof of the net.

After that initial setback, United looked to build up some possession, with their increased efforts to get forward paying off when Elisha N'Dow blocked Beth Lumsden's volley, and while the referee waved away penalty appeals, Jordan Nobbs curled an effort towards the far corner but was denied by the diving Sophie Whitehouse.

While the Lasses were pushing for an equaliser, the Addicks broke forward into the box through Muya, who was brought down by Akpan, allowing Bradley to step up and fire home into the bottom corner, sending Tamminen the wrong way.

Oxtoby made a double switch at half time, bringing on Jasmine McQuade and Freya Gregory, with the latter making a swift impact on the game when her low cross from the left allowed Sevenius to run onto the ball and pick out the bottom corner with a first-time finish on the edge of the area.

Despite Newcastle seeing the majority of the ball in the final minutes of the game and putting several dangerous balls into the box, they were unable to test Whitehouse in the Charlton goal and dropped down to fifth in the league.

Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins both scored as high-flying Aston Villa ended their long wait for a St James' Park victory against Newcastle United.

The visitors had not triumphed on Tyneside since an infamous afternoon in 2005, when Newcastle went down to eight men and team-mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer were both sent off for fighting each other.

But Unai Emery's men have won more points on the road than any other Premier League side for a reason this season, and they showed their mettle away from home once again.

It was the rejuvenated Buendia who opened the scoring when the Argentine brilliantly scooped the ball past Nick Pope from outside the box to silence the stadium in the 19th minute.

Watkins then sealed the victory late on when the unmarked striker headed home from substitute Lucas Digne's cross, leaving the away end singing in the rain as their side moved level on points with second-placed Manchester City.

That was the cue for a number of Newcastle supporters to make their way for the exits on a disappointing afternoon for their side, who would have moved ahead of champions Liverpool with a victory.

The hosts went close to opening the scoring when Sandro Tonali danced past three players only to see his close-range effort kept out by the foot of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez just seconds into the game.

The outstretched Martinez also made an important save to claw away Lewis Miley's header just before half-time.

But Aston Villa had their chances, too, and Pope made fine stops to twice deny Watkins.

There was little the Newcastle goalkeeper could do about Buendia and Watkins' goals, as the visitors secured a deserved win.

Newcastle United clinched a Champions League last 16 play-off spot following a comfortable win against PSV Eindhoven.

The home support urged their side to "write the next headline" at St James' Park as they unfurled a huge banner alongside lifesize newspaper cuttings of some of the club's most memorable moments in the competition before kick-off.

It did not take the recalled Yoane Wissa long to do just that after aggressive Newcastle capitalised on the first of a series of costly errors from the in-form Dutch champions.

Matej Kovar could only find Bruno Guimaraes with his attempted clearance and the Newcastle captain quickly threaded the ball through to countryman Joelinton, who squared it to the unmarked Wissa to coolly lift the ball over the former Manchester United goalkeeper.

After scoring his first ever Champions League goal, Wissa then turned provider to tee up Anthony Gordon as Newcastle again punished PSV for a sloppy mistake in the first half.

Slack defender Yarek Gasiorowski took a heavy touch towards his own goal and Wissa pounced to slide in and knock the ball across to Gordon, who could not miss with the goal gaping after Kovar was caught in no man's land.

Gordon, in the process, matched Alan Shearer's club record after scoring six goals in a single season in the competition.

Newcastle grabbed a third after the break when Harvey Barnes capitalised on a weak header from PSV captain Jerdy Schouten and finished clinically from inside the box after wriggling away from Gasiorowski.

The hosts counted the cost of the emphatic victory after the influential Guimaraes hobbled off with an ankle issue, but Eddie Howe's side have moved up to seventh in the standings.

With a play-off secured, Newcastle could still automatically qualify for the knockout stages if they get a landmark result against holders Paris St-Germain at the Parc des Princes in their final league phase game next week.

PSV, meanwhile, have slipped to 22nd.

Newcastle missed the chance to climb into the Premier League's top five after being held to a goalless draw at battling Wolves.

The Champions League-chasing Magpies were looking for a fourth straight league win for the first time since April, but lacked inspiration as striker Nick Woltemade again drew a blank.

The £69m Germany forward, who scored on his Newcastle debut against Wolves in September, now has just three goals in his past 19 games and was replaced by Yoane Wissa in the second half.

Eddie Howe's side would have gone fifth with a win by two clear goals, but did not manage a shot on target until the 85th minute - although they did move up a place to eighth with this point.

Rock-bottom Wolves are 14 points from safety and have other priorities, but have rediscovered their drive and - more importantly - their organisation in recent weeks.

While it will be too late to save them after failing to win any of their opening 19 games, there is at least growing optimism for the future under boss Rob Edwards.

Much of that comes from teenage breakthrough star Mateus Mane, who hooked a shot at Nick Pope, while Jose Sa saved late efforts from Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton.

Woltemade's goal struggles will be a growing concern for Howe - and the striker's barren spell could dent Newcastle's Champions League hopes.

Just three goals in his past 19 games is not a total Woltemade or his manager would have expected after a goalscoring debut against Wolves in September.

The German scored five times in his first eight matches after a club record move from Stuttgart in an impressive start to life in the north east.

But that confidence has ebbed away and the 23-year-old was replaced by Wissa midway through the second half after another fruitless outing.

Woltemade was not given a great deal of service, but what he did have to work with he wasted - including a glancing first-half header which he may have done better with.

He still has seven goals in 19 appearances, but if he fails to re-find his shooting boots it will harm the Magpies' top-four chances.

Newcastle had scored seven goals in their past three league matches - all wins - before coming to Molineux, but with just one by a striker (Wissa's goal against Burnley).

The Magpies did not have a shot on target while Woltemade was on the pitch on Sunday - albeit a statistic he is not entirely responsible for - and will view a stalemate against the league's bottom side as a wasted opportunity.

However, Wolves have rediscovered their fight and a point in a forgettable match was a fair result, even if Newcastle will have reasons to be deflated.
