Kane helps end Jose’s Geordie jinx

Harry Kane went past 200 club goals to hand Jose Mourinho a first Premier League win at St James’ Park at the eighth attempt. The england captain brought up the milestone before his 15th league goal of the season took him past 20 in all competitions for the sixth successive campaign and clinched the points after Matt ritchie had cancelled out Son Heung-min’s opener. In the process, he ended ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager Mourinho’s barren run on Tyneside. Victory also kept Spurs in the hunt for european qualification. It was newcastle who cracked first when, with 27 minutes gone, Fabian Schar over-ran the ball as he tried to play out from the back, inviting Lucas Moura to intercept, and he, Kane and Giovani Lo Celso shifted it on to Son, who cut inside before firing into the bottom corner. The hosts level within 11 minutes of the restart when Serge aurier, playing just two days after the death of his brother Christopher, could only help the ball into ritchie’s path and the former Scotland international lashed an unstoppable shot across Lloris and inside the far post. newcastle, however, had been level for just four minutes when Steven Bergwijn announced his arrival from the bench with a pinpoint cross for Kane to out-jump emil Krafth and head past Martin Dubravka, reaching his landmark goal. Kane wrapped up the win at the death when, after Dubravka had parried erik Lamela’s shot, he stooped to head home the rebound.
