Tottenham Hotspur fell to a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday with Brazilian Joelinton grabbing the winner.

Joelinton, the club's record £40 million signing, finished off a 27th minute counter-attack, keeping his composure to beat Hugo Lloris after being put in by Christian Atsu.

The win was a much-needed one for Newcastle manager Steve Bruce who had lost his first two games after taking over from Rafa Benitez in the close-season.

It was a back-to-the walls effort from Newcastle for much of the game but Tottenham, who started with Christian Eriksen on the bench, struggled to turn their possession into clear chances.

The home side felt they should have had a penalty in the 78th minute when Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles lost his footing and fell into the path of Harry Kane who went down but neither the referee nor the VAR review felt the incident merited a penalty.

Spurs should have got on level terms minutes later but Lucas Moura blasted over the bar after a low cross from the right by Moussa Sissoko.

After last week's 3-1 loss at promoted Norwich City, Bruce came in for plenty of criticism from Newcastle fans who have struggled to accept his appointment, despite him being a boyhood fan of the club.

"The only way we can respond to criticism is like that. We came to this fantastic stadium, this fantastic club and we performed," said Bruce.

"I have managed 900-odd games and over the years you would think there would be some sort of respect but I go back to the fact that whoever took over from Rafa Benitez was going to get the abuse.

"I am delighted for my staff and the players. We have responded in the right way from last week's game."

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said his team had paid the price for some poor individual performances.

"We didn't create. We had possession but we didn't create enough chances. We didn't find the capacity to break down their defensive line. They were very organised and defended deep," said the Argentine.

"I'm very disappointed with the performance and with the result. Sometimes, it's not about possession, it's about individual actions and today we didn't show the type of quality we needed."

A penalty from Mexican Raul Jimenez, in the seventh minute of added time, earned Wolverhampton Wanderers a 1-1 draw at home to Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.

Burnley had taken the lead in the 13th minute with a superb 20 metre strike from in-form Ashley Barnes, who has scored in all three games this season and now has four goals to his name.

The Clarets went close again when a header from Ben Mees struck the crossbar and Chris Wood could have doubled their lead but his effort was well saved by Rui Patricio.

Perhaps struggling with the impact of their Europa League qualifying efforts, Wolves were not at their sharpest but found the energy for a late surge.

Three minutes into added time, Jimenez struck the post with a scuffed shot on the turn in the box and it was the Mexican who earned the penalty when he went down under challenge from Burnley defender Erik Pieters.

Jimenez coolly converted the spot kick to frustrate Sean Dyche's side and secure the third draw in three games for Wolves.

"I think [the penalty] is the right decision," said Jimenez.

"When I get in possession he tried to kick the ball, then he kicked me. It came at a good moment for us.

"Maybe the point is good because we tried to score all game. They played only long balls, which was difficult for us. We have to keep going. Next week we have to get the three points," he said.

Burnley boss Dyche felt his side deserved more.

"We deserved to win the game. I thought we were out of the box sharp, we mixed the play enough to cause them problems. They didn't cause us too many problems," he said.

"We're looking a different animal to last season, which is important at this early stage. There's a real good energy, some good quality and some good moments.

"They hit the post, to be fair, but I don't think they had too much today. Defensively we were very strong," added Dyche.

Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium with Sergio Aguero grabbing a double.

After Liverpool's convincing 3-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday, Pep Guardiola's men needed a response following a 2-2 draw with Tottenham last time out and the champions provided it, although they were troubled at times.

"We weren't at our best, but knowing the conditions, the way they defend, they don't press, they wait, sit back, wait for the counter attack, so there wasn't rhythm but we solved it," said the Spaniard.

Aguero and Raheem Sterling put City 2-0 up before Harry Wilson's stunning free kick reduced the arrears. But Aguero's toe poke in the second half gave City breathing space as Guardiola's side strolled to victory in the sunshine.

Bournemouth began the brighter of the two teams in the first half and were aggrieved to not be a man up when Ederson raced out of his area and clattered into Callum Wilson. Ederson received just a yellow card, much to the home side's dismay, and minutes later it got worse.

Kevin De Bruyne's miscued shot found Aguero from close range and he tapped in to put the visitors in front, making De Bruyne the fastest to reach 50 Premier League assists.

It got better for City three minutes before the break when David Silva's clever pass found Sterling, who made no mistake and finished clinically inside the box.

That appeared to be that, but Wilson's outstanding free kick sailed into the top corner in first half stoppage time, giving Ederson no chance and Bournemouth belief heading into the second half.

Wilson had a golden opportunity to equalise on 53 minutes but lost his footing at the vital moment and could only send a weak effort that Ederson scrambled away.

Just after the hour mark, Aguero made the game safe when he poked in through a sea of bodies for his second of the match, sealing the three points.

"It was a tough game, we knew it would be," said Guardiola, "We have seven points. We should have nine, but it's OK."

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has said that online abuse only motivates him to fight racism harder.

Pogba, who was subjected to racist abuse after missing a penalty against Wolves on Aug. 19, wrote: "My ancestors and my parents suffered for my generation to be free today, to work, to take the bus, to play football.

"Racist insults are ignorance and can only make me stronger and motivate me to fight for the next generation."

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer condemned such abuse after Marcus Rashford became the second player in the team to have been subjected to racism in a week, following a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, in which the 21-year-old also missed a penalty.

"It's the same as we spoke about before the weekend; it needs to stop," Solskjaer said at a news conference.

"I'm just lost for words. They keep hiding behind fake IDs and it's crazy we talk about this in 2019."

United have launched an investigation into the incidents and have promised to take "the strongest course of action" against anyone found to be involved.

Pogba and Rashford's United teammate Juan Mata also spoke out against the abuse, telling ESPN FC in an exclusive interview: "It's not something we should be speaking about, because it should have been eradicated a long time ago.

"It's a problem. Unfortunately some people do that and it needs to stop. It's cowardly to do it that way, because no one can see you. It's not nice."

LONDON -- This was supposed to be the match that would kickstart Tottenham Hotspurs' season.

After needing a Harry Kane rescue act to overcome promoted Aston Villa on the opening weekend and then somehow coming away from Manchester City with a statistically miraculous 2-2 draw, this game, against a Newcastle United team who were without a point and had just lost 3-1 at Premier League new boys Norwich City, would be the one where the shackles came off. Or at least, that was the theory.

Instead it was Newcastle who found themselves celebrating a potential turning point after Joelinton's coolly taken goal earned the visitors a wholly unexpected but richly merited 1-0 victory on a cloyingly hot and sunny afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham were left to rue two contentious penalty incidents -- one in each half -- in which referee Mike Dean ignored their appeals despite evidence that Mauricio Pochettino's men might have actually had a case. But to reduce the match to another VAR controversy would be to deprive Newcastle of the credit they deserved for a brilliantly dogged backs-to-the-wall display and absolve the home side of responsibility for contriving to convert 80% of possession into just two attempts on target.

Just as against Villa, Pochettino left Christian Eriksen, the team's chief creator, on the bench and it was not until the Dane made his entrance, in the 62nd minute, that the home side began to knock on the Newcastle door at a level louder than a polite tap. Eriksen, 27, has entered the last year of his contract and indicated earlier this summer that the time had come for him to move on.

Pochettino has conceded that the issue is problematic and said the fact that transfer windows were still open in Europe's other major leagues meant his squad remained "unsettled," but he dismissed suggestions that the question mark over Eriksen's future had had any bearing on his team selection.

"I cannot pick more than 11," he told reporters. "I understand you are going to ask me. If the result is 3-0 [to Spurs], you're not going to ask me that question. The players who are out are always good when you don't win. I don't want to justify our performance because of that."

One player who did make the Spurs starting XI was Son Heung-Min, who returned from a three-game suspension. The South Korean forward worked Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka with a well-struck volley in the first half, but by that point Spurs were already behind.

There again, Pochettino's picks fell beneath the spotlight. Davinson Sanchez was again preferred to Jan Vertonghen, whose contract will also be up at the end of the season, and the Colombian centre-back was caught underneath the ball when Christian Atsu clipped a pass into the Spurs box from Newcastle's left in the 27th minute. With Danny Rose failing to sense the danger, Joelinton had time to bring the ball down and place a low shot past Hugo Lloris for his first goal in English football since his club-record £40 million switch from Hoffenheim.

With Eriksen watching on from the dugout, Spurs became sucked into endless sequences of lateral passing in the second half as Newcastle crammed 10 men behind the ball. Steve Bruce had set his team out in a 3-4-2-1 system that morphed into a 5-4-1 in the defensive phase, with attacking midfielders Miguel Almiron and Atsu -- an early substitute for the injured Allan Saint-Maximin -- dropping deep to provide extra protection in front of wing-backs Emil Krafth and Matt Ritchie.

Sean Longstaff and Isaac Hayden screened the defence; centre-backs Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar and Paul Dummett threw themselves at every loose ball as if their lives depended on it. The one player allowed to stay up the pitch, Joelinton, battled tirelessly to give Newcastle an out ball and take the sting out of the game, right down to the booking he received for taking too long to leave the pitch when he was replaced by Yoshinori Muto in the closing stages.

Schar and Lascelles were protagonists in the two penalty incidents, the former sliding in on Son, the latter appearing to trip over his own feet as Kane shaped to shoot from Giovani Lo Celso's clever pass. Neither got a clear touch on the ball and both seemed to make contact with their opponent, but in both cases Dean's decision to wave play on was not deemed a sufficiently clear and obvious error for the men in front of the video screens to intervene.

Eriksen's entrance, along with home debutant Lo Celso, enabled Spurs to establish a foothold 15 yards closer to Newcastle's goal and finally, the chances came. Moussa Sissoko, who switched to right-back after Kyle Walker-Peters went off injured, teed up first Lucas Moura and then Kane with cut-backs from the right, but the Brazilian hooked his shot over the bar from 10 yards and the England striker failed to even make telling contact. Eriksen tried his luck, too, but his left-foot curler was tipped wide by Dubravka.

Spurs now have a week to clear their heads before next weekend's trip to Arsenal in the North London derby. The European transfer windows closes the following day, and when Pochettino was asked if Eriksen might have already played his last game for the club, he could only reply: "I don't know."

Being without Eriksen's creativity might be something that Spurs have to get used to.

In case you've been living under a rock, Ben Stokes and Jack Leach dragged England to a remarkable one-wicket win in the third Ashes Test at Headingley, with an unbeaten stand of 76 in 10.2 overs. Here's how ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball commentary recorded their partnership...

115.2 - Pattinson to Broad, OUT, pitched up, Broad is hit on the boot - given! But he reviews, did he get some bat on it? Doesn't look like it on the first replay, but we'll need UltraEdge - no, that's clear, and Hawk-Eye has it smashing the base of off stump! Pattinson's yorker rips through Broad and Australia are on the brink
SCJ Broad lbw b Pattinson 0 (6m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Jack Leach to the middle, England's hopes hanging by a thread. Three slips, leg gully, short leg

"The dream is over," declares Simon. Needs the full Vishwa Fernando from Leach, if England are to prove him wrong

116.4 - Lyon to Stokes, SIX runs, shout of 'catch!' from Lyon... but Stokes has mowed it over long-off! There's a man out there, but this was struck fine of him, lands it pretty much on the rope

Here's Iain Climie, clinging on: "This is not all over; Leach may be good enough to hold up an end while Stokes does a Botham impression at the other."

118.1 - Lyon to Stokes, SIX runs, goes down the ground again, clears long-off! Hazlewood leaps on the rope, but he can't get near it... Six more!

118.5 - Lyon to Stokes, SIX runs, Boody Norah! He's reverse-slog-swept this into the stands! Extraordinary from Stokes, smashing the cover off one over deep point! Incredible

The requirement is below 50, and the crowd are on their feet again. Surely not, surely...?!!

Lyon off, Pat Cummins back on. Can the Postman deliver for Australia?

120.3 - Cummins to Stokes, SIX runs, he gets the ramp away this time, into the stands at fine leg! Still ambitious, but he's got the chops to pull it off! Stokes into the 90s and the crowd are going like Billy-oh again!

Josh Hazlewood replaces Pattinson. He needs one wicket for 10

121.1 - Hazlewood to Stokes, FOUR runs, short outside off, smoked through wide long-on! Rocks back and hammers this to the boundary - hundred for Stokes, but he's not interested. Work still to do, he nods his head and then returns to his crease

121.2 - Hazlewood to Stokes, SIX runs, full toss, scooped over the ropes at deep square! You've got to be kidding me! Sails away and England are getting ever closer

121.3 - Hazlewood to Stokes, SIX runs, goes again, soaring into the Western Terrace! Length delivery, he rocks back and smashes it to smithereens between two men parked on the boundary

That's the 50 stand between these two, in just 6.1 overs!

I think we might be going the full World Cup final here, people. Nathan Lyon back on... is he going to toss one up?

122.1 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, darted flat outside off and Stokes goes for the reverse-sweep... Paine appeals for caught behind, but the umpire isn't interested. Kiddology

122.2 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, goes for a big mow over the leg side, this spins out of the rough to slip

122.3 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, slower, Stokes aims a little reverse-prod at it and misses

Pat Cummins switches ends

123.1 - Cummins to Stokes, no run, dropped! Sliced to third man, Marcus Harris can't hold it... The ball carried, he got his hands there, couldn't cling on! Very similar to Simon Jones in 2005...

123.2 - Cummins to Stokes, FOUR runs, short ball, cracked on the pull, through Warner's dive on the rope! Was it catchable chance? Hard to tell, but it was travelling!

123.3 - Cummins to Stokes, FOUR runs, smashed down the ground, Stokes is on the rampage, the target now in single figures! Hazlewood threw himself full length but couldn't cut it off

Obligatory shout, from ShaileshR: "Marcus Harris just dropped the Ashes?"

123.6 - Cummins to Leach, no run, pitched up, skids into the pads, appeal for lbw but looked leg side. Australia review, but it's a desperate one, pitching well outside leg

124.3 - Lyon to Stokes, SIX runs, tossed up, and he goes down town... Hanging in the air... There's a man on the rope... Gets it over his head for six! Stokes wasn't sure, it wasn't out of the middle, he crouched, he watched - and then the crowd erupted!

The field comes up now... Two to win, two for immortality

124.5 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, missed run out! Leach is charging down, he's miles out of his ground as the throw comes in... but Lyon drops it! Can you believe it? Stokes reverse-swept, picked out backward point, but Leach was headlong down the pitch looking for a non-existent single

124.6 - Lyon to Stokes, no run, goes for the slog-sweep, hit on the pads, Wilson shakes his head! Lyon can't believe it, Australia have no reviews! That looked a pretty good shout, pitching on middle and leg. Did it straighten enough?

Would have been overturned on DRS! Hitting middle and leg stump according to Hawk-Eye. Poor decision, you have to say, but Australia had wasted their last review in the previous over

And after all that, Jack Leach is on strike. Two to win and keep the series alive. Scratch that, a tie would keep the Ashes alive... AAARRRGGGHH!!

125.1 - Cummins to Leach, no run, slams down a bouncer, high over the batsman's head

125.2 - Cummins to Leach, no run, short and at the body, 85mph/137kph and Leach shovels it away, leg gully cleans up

125.3 - Cummins to Leach, 1 run, round the wicket, banged into the ribs and Leach jabs it past short leg, they scamper through and SCORES ARE LEVEL! Leach's first run, too

125.4 - Cummins to Stokes, FOUR runs, there it is! Flayed through the covers, Stokes has completed the Miracle of Headingley Part II! Holy hand grenades, Stokes is a monster! He throws his arms wide and roars! England win by one wicket and the series is level in the most heart-stopping fashion imaginable!

Derbyshire Falcons 128 for 1 (Godleman 52*) beat Leicestershire Foxes 124 for 9 (Cosgrove 45, Reece 2-9, Critchley 2-18) by nine wickets

Derbyshire Falcons all but sealed qualification for the quarter-finals of the Vitality Blast after comprehensively beating East Midlands neighbours Leicestershire Foxes by nine wickets in the crucial North Group clash at the Fischer County Ground.

Captain Billy Godleman led the way with an unbeaten half-century, his third of the competition, after seeing his side dismiss the Foxes for just 124.

Leicestershire captain Colin Ackermann opted to bat first after winning the toss, and it was quickly apparent that the pitch, which had been used for the match against the Nottinghamshire Outlaws two days earlier, appeared to have quickened under glorious sunshine. It certainly suited Mark Cosgrove, who looked in sublime form, stroking seven fours through the off-side and clubbing a huge straight six during a Powerplay that yielded 59 runs.

He did lose two partners, Harry Swindells caught behind and Arron Lilley caught at mid-off, but the game turned when Ackermann, having clipped a Matt Critchley delivery straight to Logan Van Beek at backward point, looked up to see Cosgrove half-way down the wicket.

Quite what the Australian was thinking was hard to fathom, as Van Beek threw the ball back to Critchley and Cosgrove was left standing in mid-pitch, his 45 having come from just 27 balls.

The shift in momentum from that point was dramatic. With Alex Hughes and Critchley taking the pace off the ball, just 17 runs came off the next five overs, and wickets continued to fall to ill-chosen shots. Ackermann holed out to long-on, Lewis Hill was bowled making room to cut and Aadil Ali was caught at long-on, leaving the tail to gather what runs it could.

When Derbyshire batted, Godleman and Luis Reece took 24 off the third over of the reply, bowled by left-arm paceman Dieter Klein, and from that point there was never any concern for the visitors, though they did lose Reece, caught at long-on.

Leicestershire's travails continued in the field, Hill dropping the most straightforward of chances to dismiss Wayne Madsen behind the wicket before the South African helped Godleman see the Falcons over the line in the penultimate over.
