Huge blow for Spurs as Dejan Kulusevski goes off injured!
The Swede has struggled for fitness in 2025, and lasts less than 20 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
His potential absence can't be understated enough, with the Europa League final just around the corner.
James Maddison is already confirmed to be sidelined for Bilbao, and now Kulusevski could be confined to the treatment room as well.
He's withdrawn for teenager Mikey Moore.

THE EAGLES FIRE IN THE OPENER!
It's a picture-perfect move from the visitors, as Eberechi Eze cuts through the Spurs midfield like a knife through butter.

Sandro Tonali told TNT Sports: "We spoke before the game about making a fast start, and I think we did that.
But listen, we’ve been together 3-4 years now, we’ve got that big-game experience, and I thought we did really well to see the game out."

THE MAGPIES SEAL IT IN THE FINAL MINUTE!
Just as the signal went up for five minutes of added time, Newcastle captain Guimarães fires home the vital second goal.
Dan Burn cuts in from the left and looks for a one-two with his skipper after continuing his run into the box.
However, Guimarães instead goes for goal and his looping effort takes a wicked deflection that takes a wicked deflection into the net.
Newcastle are closing in on a place in next season's Champions League.

Nicolas Jackson has now received more cards (4) than he has direct goal involvements (3) in the Premier League in 2025.
On his sending off, the Premier League's Match Centre page released a statement explaining VAR's intervention on X.
It read: "VAR checked the referee’s call of yellow card to Jackson – and deemed that the challenge by Jackson on Botman was a serious foul play offence, therefore recommended an on-field review.
It's not like he's clenched his fist and really swung that elbow.
“He runs into him with a forearm.
It's a foul.
It's a yellow card, 100 per cent.
“Once he's given the yellow card, I don't think there's enough to give him a red card.”

NICOLAS JACKSON HAS BEEN SENT OFF!
The Chelsea striker is initially shown a yellow card for clattering into Sven Botman as the pair go up for a header.
However, Jackson leads with his right forearm, which smashes the Newcastle centre-back in the face.
The referee is sent to the monitor, and the decision to upgrade the caution to a straight sending off is confirmed.
CHELSEA ARE DOWN TO TEN!
More significantly, Jackson will not play again this season due to the three-match ban for a red card.

LIFT OFF AT ST JAMES PARK INSIDE TWO MINUTES!!
What a start from the Magpies, with Anthony Gordon blitzing the Blues' backline on his return to the starting XI.
Gordon's run down the left sees him charge into the box, but he's denied by a terrific recovery sliding challenge from Moises Caicedo.
However, Chelsea fail to clear the danger, and Romeo Lavia is caught in possession on the edge of his own box.
Newcastle work the ball to the right, and a low ball in from Jacob Murphy is turned home by an unmarked Tonali at the back post.

Bournemouth star Alex Scott played most of the first half against Aston Villa with a broken jaw, it has been revealed.
The 21-year-old went down seven minutes into the match following a collision with Tyrone Mings.
He was substituted at half-time, but scans have revealed that Scott has a displaced fracture and will undergo surgery.
A Bournemouth statement read: "He will miss the remainder of the season and have the full support of the club and its medical team throughout the recovery process."

Ollie Watkins has delivered a message to talkSPORT co-host Gabby Agbonlahor - telling the former striker to let him have his moment!
The 29-year-old scored the only goal of the game at Bournemouth to help fire Aston Villa to a 1-0 win.
In doing so, Watkins has overtaken Agbonlahor to become the club's all-time top scorer in the Premier League.
Watkins had been level with Agbonlahor on 74 goals heading into the clash at the Vitality Stadium.
Commenting on his achievement, the 29-year-old, who poked fun at Agbonlahor, said: "Gabby, it's been a long time you've held that record.
"But it's now time to pass it over to me, let me have my moment!
"But it's an unbelievable achievement and I'm really pleased."

Aston Villa have held on for a crucial three points!
Ollie Watkins' strike in first half stoppage-time has proved to be the difference at the Vitality Stadium.
Daniel Jebbison thought he had rescued a point for the hosts in the closing seconds, but he somehow headed over the bar from two yards out.
The result has seen Bournemouth drop down into tenth spot following Brentford and Brighton's victories earlier in the day.
While their European dreams have taken a huge hit, Villa have guaranteed themselves of at least a UEFA Conference League spot next term.
Now up to sixth in the table, they are only behind fifth-placed Chelsea, who occupy the final Champions League spot, on goal difference.

Incredible save!
Marco Asensio sends a ball out to Lucas Digne.
The Frenchman has time and space to deliver a ball into the box, and curls a perfect cross to the far post.It is begging to be put away.
There is Boubacar Kamara to meet it, and he thinks he's surely scored, but Kepa Arrizabalaga sticks out his left leg and makes a stunning stop.

Some concern here for Alex Scott.
Tyrone Mings takes a heavy touch and raises his elbow to try and block off the Bournemouth man.
There is no swinging motion from the centre-back, so VAR checks and clears it, but Scott needs quite a bit of treatment.
However, after a lengthy stoppage, he is good to carry on.

It is a gorgeous day on the south coast, and we are underway at the Vitality.

Okay, attention now switches to the 5:30pm Premier League game.
In the context of the race for Europe, it is huge.
If Aston Villa win, they will move level on points with Newcastle United and Chelsea.
Meanwhile, a win for Bournemouth takes them one point clear of Brentford and Brighton in eighth.
In terms of team news, the Cherries make three changes.
Adam Smith, Antoine Semenyo and Alex Scott come in for Dango Ouattara, Justin Kluivert and Julian Araujo.
And for Villa, it's four changes.
Lucas Digne, Tyrone Mings, Amadou Onana and Jacob Ramsey come into the side.
Ian Maatsen, Pau Torres, Youri Tielemans and John McGinn come out of the side.

That brings an end to the four 3pm Premier League games, and it's been a bad day for Manchester City .
The Citizens couldn't beat already-relegated Southampton at St Mary's, with the Saints digging in for a 0-0 draw.
That result means they move off 11 points and can't be the worst team in Premier League history.
That opens the door for Chelsea and Newcastle United in the race for the Champions League, with those two playing tomorrow, knowing they can leap above Man City.
Meanwhile, Brentford and Brighton sealed huge wins as they look to get into the Europa Conference League.
Fulham, though, were beaten 3-1 by Everton all but ending their hopes of European football.

HISTORY MADE!
Danny Welbeck has put Brighton into the lead over Wolves, and the race for that Europa Conference League spot changes again.
The Seagulls are awarded a penalty after Matheus Cunha loses the ball on the edge of the area.
Welbeck steps up and scores his tenth Premier League goal of the season.
This is the first time since his top-flight debut that he's managed double figures in a campaign.
