Jan Vertonghen would probably be a big shout for a place in the starting XI of the Premier League team of the season, but Tottenham fans were convinced he was playing at far less than 100% on Wednesday night.

The same could possibly be levelled against Harry Kane as well, but the Tottenham striker scored the winner at one end, while Vertonghen helped keep a clean sheet at the other.

The 1-0 win secured Champions League football for Tottenham, with Chelsea unable to beat Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge.

It marks the end of another satisfying season for Tottenham, but it was a nervy night at Wembley, with Newcastle coming so close to breaking Spurs fans' hearts - no more so than Jonjo Shevley who hit the woodwork in the first half.
