Ten-man Spurs are ahead at Kenilworth Road. Micky van de Ven scored his first goal for the club from close range after great work by the irrepressible James Maddison.
If I am hungover, any romcom will see me through, as will a YouTube video of a hedgehog being stroked with a toothbrush.
This is very good news for Newcastle, although the release clause looks a bit low.
Half time: Sunderland 0-0 Middlesbrough
It’s also goalless in the Tees-Wear derby, though Sunderland are down to 10 fellas: Dan Neil was shown a second yellow card in injury time, I think for dissent.
Half time: Luton 0-0 Tottenham
It’s goalless at Kenilworth Road, though that doesn’t tell the story of a rumbustious first half. Spurs nearly broke the xG algorithm, then had Yves Bissouma sent off for diving on the stroke of half-time. Get chapter and verse with Scott Murray.
