after supporters&#8217; response"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa were left on the bench &#8211; just a few months after Howe spent \u00a3124m on the forwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That told its own story as the visitors lined up without a recognised striker for the second away league game in a row.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Anthony Gordon was instead tasked with leading the line on the road again after Howe took heart from the opening half an hour of his side&#8217;s 4-1 defeat against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/liverpool\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Gordon put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/newcastle-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Newcastle<\/a> in front at Anfield that night, but it was still a bold call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, Gordon, Elanga and Harvey Barnes aggressively led the press out of possession as they hunted down Spurs&#8217; defenders and broke forward quickly with the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There were still occasions where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/newcastle-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Newcastle<\/a> were crying out for a poacher in the box to get on the end of a number of teasing crosses from Elanga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, the speed of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/newcastle-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Newcastle<\/a>&#8216;s front line caused Spurs problems and Gordon&#8217;s dancing feet set up Ramsey&#8217;s winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Remarkably, it was just travel-sick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/newcastle-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Newcastle<\/a>&#8216;s third away league victory of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/newcastle-united\" class=\"ssrcss-18834jl-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">Newcastle<\/a> have too often been soft, throwing away more points (19) than any other side in the division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But this was an evening where they &#8220;really did inspire each other&#8221; following a difficult few days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;If anything they used it in a positive way and reinforced relationships,&#8221; Howe added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It made us all look inward and look at what we&#8217;re doing and how we can do it better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/c0q3z2gk48xo?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa&hellip;
