Follow all the action as Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Jose Mourinho’s side are negotiating an exhausting fixture pile-up, having edged past Macedonian side Shkëndija in the third round of Europa League qualifying earlier this week. Spurs suffered a drab defeat on the opening day against Everton but recovered to beat Southampton in spectacular fashion as Son Heung-min scored four goals.
Meanwhile, the Magpies have put the despair over their failed takeover behind them, defeating West Ham to begin their campaign in fine spirits before a poor loss against Brighton quickly deflated that air of positivity. However, a 7-0 thrashing of Morecombe in the Carabao Cup in the week will have restored that momentum for Steve Bruce’s side. Follow all the action below at the conclusion of Sheffield United vs Leeds:
Kick off: Newcastle get the match started sending the ball out to the left wing and conceding a throw in.
We’ll bring you reaction from Bramall Lane but now the focus moves to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where Spurs prepare to host Newcastle.
90+5 mins: Chris Wilder’s team lose for the third time in a row this season and for the third game in a row they’ve failed to find the back of the net.
Leeds get another win and look comfortable with life in the Premier League. Both goalkeepers had brilliant games today but a Patrick Bamford header in the 88th minute was the difference between the two sides.

81 mins: Oh my! A Blades corner is whipped into the box, McBurnie goes for the header but misses the ball, instead it falls for Robinson who volleys it wide of goal.
78 mins: A Sheffield United corner comes to Berge but it is headed clear by Klich and Leeds can break on the counter attack. Poveda sprints forward with the ball, Bamford drifts out to the right to draw away any defenders. Poveda shoots and Ramsdale saves it. He’s been rock solid in goal today.
