The match saw an early lead for Tottenham through Brennan Johnson, but Newcastle's Harvey Barnes equalized with an impressive goal. The game also marked the final appearance of Heung-min Son in a Tottenham shirt. Son was substituted in the second half and received a guard of honour from his teammates, as well as a standing ovation from the coaching staff as he left the pitch.

Frank expressed his thoughts on the game, stating that it was "very likely" that Son's appearance was his last for the team, given his impending transfer to LAFC. He also praised the emotional farewell for Son, describing it as "beautiful" and "brutal" at the same time.

Frank also reflected on the match itself, saying that it was a competitive game between two good teams. He praised Tottenham's goal, which was scored from a well-earned advantage, and noted that the team was able to regain their composure in the second half.
