Callum Wilson scores with sensational finish after Hugo Lloris blunder

Wilson put Newcastle United ahead after the Tottenham Hotspur keeper messed up, but he still had so much to do.

Callum Wilson scored an absolute beauty of a finish, but he still had Hugo Lloris to thank, even though he was left with plenty to do.

Tottenham Hotspur went into their game with Newcastle United on Sunday in need of a win, after a limp performance against Manchester United in midweek.

Erik ten Hag's side had been praised for how they played but Roy Keane pointed out how poor Antonio Conte's team had been in the match, whilst refusing to praise Fred.

They were hosting a much improved Newcastle side in north London at the weekend, with Eddie Howe's team having recently drawn on their own visit to Old Trafford.

Without the injured Dejan Kulusevski or Richarlison, with the Brazilian in tears when he thought he'd miss the World Cup but now likely to make it, Son Heung-min started up front with Harry Kane, despite the South Korean's poor performances this season.

Son should have put the hosts ahead, when he was one-on-one with Nick Pope, but only managed a limp shot which former Tottenham star Kieran Trippier cleared off the line.

But it wasn't the most costly mistake of the first half for the north Londoners, with that accolade going to Lloris, in the Spurs' goal.

Fabian Schar played a brilliant ball out from the back over the top of the Spurs defence, with Wilson attempting to run onto it.

Lloris decided to come speeding off his line to get the ball but just let it hit him and it went free, he collided with the Newcastle striker, who then beat him to it and lifted it into the empty goal, from outside the area.

The Spurs players were completely incensed by the goal, surrounding the referee to claim that Wilson had fouled the keeper in the build up.

VAR decided to get involved to check out the goal, firstly making sure that the former Bournemouth forward was onside from Schar's long ball.

That all checked out, as did the suggestion of a foul, with the French keeper just clearly running into Wilson, and there was no handball either.

Things went from bad to worse for Lloris, and the Spurs defence however, as they gave away a second goal, this time to Miguel Almiron.

The keeper played a poor pass out to Ryan Sessegnon, who lost out to Sean Longstaff, Almiron then ran into the box, beating Clement Lenglet with ease, before sliding the ball into the goal.

It continues the theory that Almiron has really taken Jack Grealish's insult about him personally, and used it to prove the Manchester City star wrong.

At the end of last season, Grealish compared Riyad Mahrez unfavourably to Almiron, during the Premier League trophy celebration, claiming the Algerian needed to be taken off for playing like the Newcastle forward.

However the stats since then prove that the Paraguayan is far more important to his team than the former Aston Villa captain is to City.
