Half-Time Report: Nacer Chadli goal puts Tottenham Hotspur in the lead at Newcastle United

Newcastle United are 1-0 down to Tottenham at half time of their Premier League clash at St James' Park.

Newcastle United are succumbing to a sixth straight defeat at the hands of 1-0 leaders Tottenham Hotspur in this afternoon's Premier League clash at St James' Park.

The hosts were quickest out of the starting blocks as Remy Cabella charged towards the opposition box before attempting to find a teammate, but the cross was cut out before being cleared.

Spurs countered in the 13th minute with Danny Rose's cross blocked before Nacer Chadli could connect, but Newcastle hit back moments later through Ayoze Perez, whose connection with a Yoan Gouffran pass was saved by Michel Vorm.

The game was light on action in the early stages, but soon experienced a spark when Chadli was gifted possession and was allowed to make ground, find space and slot a low curling shot past Tim Krul from 25 yards to give Spurs the lead.

It proved to be a rare moment of attacking quality as the first half saw little more than a few additional half-chances.
