Newcastle United vs. Tottenham: Head-to-head record and past meetings after Spurs' Premier League comeback

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 174

Spurs wins: 74

Draws: 35

Newcastle wins: 65

During the first 15 meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United - which coincidentally took place over a 15-year spell from 1905 to 1920 - the North London giants conquered their counterparts from the north on just one occasion.

However, Spurs now boast the overall bragging rights against the Magpies, winning 74 of their 174 competitive matches across all competitions, in addition to suffering 65 defeats and playing out 35 draws.

Recent top-flight meetings between the two have seldom gone Tottenham's way, though, as they have been defeated in five of their last seven Premier League head-to-heads, including in both meetings during the 2024-25 season.

A 2-1 home loss in January 2025 succeeded an identical result at St James' Park, although for Spurs, the latter defeat was still an improvement on their heavy 4-0 loss in April 2024 and humiliating 6-1 slaughter at St James' Park under Cristian Stellini in 2023.

That being said, Tottenham's only triumph over Newcastle from their last six Premier League affairs was emphatic in its own right, as the Lilywhites crushed the Magpies 4-1 at home in December 2023, when Richarlison helped himself to a brace.

Goals are guaranteed when these clubs square off in the top flight, as zero of their 61 Premier League meetings have finished 0-0, making this the most played match to never end goalless in the competition, not to mention that their last 10 clashes have all produced at least three goals apiece.

Spurs and Newcastle also did battle in the 2014-15 EFL Cup quarter-final, which Spurs won 4-0, but Eddie Howe's side eliminated the Londoners in the tournament's fourth round in October 2025 with a 2-0 triumph.

The Magpies also came out on top in their most high-profile knockout scrap, a 1999 FA Cup semi-final that saw the Toon net twice in extra time courtesy of Alan Shearer, who is the highest scorer in this fixture with 11 strikes against the Lilywhites, one more than Harry Kane managed for Spurs.

Most recently, Thomas Frank's Tottenham snatched a Premier League point in a 2-2 draw at St James' Park in December 2025, thanks to two spectacular equalising goals - including a stoppage-time overhead kick - from captain Cristian Romero.
