Talking points: Same old Spurs, the good and bad of Darwin Núñez and Newcastle belief 

Can Newcastle keep this up until May?

MOMENTUM: Newcastle United's Chris Wood celebrates scoring the opening goal with team mates during the Premier League match at the King Power Stadium.

Same old Spurs.

In this, the early kick off, nothing had changed. Spurs came out looking sluggish, as per usual and Brentford came out playing direct football and were sharper all over the pitch. Stodgy defending gifted Brentford a goal to Vitaly Janelt. This was the ninth successive game where Spurs had conceded the first goal. The Bees were first to every ball and frankly bullied their opponents. They put pressure on via set pieces and were not afraid to play direct balls. After a poor first half in which Harry Kane was a peripheral figure, the idea that Spurs were a side in fourth seemed ludicrous. But then it always does. They are not capable of putting two halves of good football together.
