It raises hope about the season ahead, particularly after a disappointing opener at Leicester in which they wasted a number of chances before drawing 1-1.
Thrashed at St James’ Park last season, Spurs could make a statement by inflicting some revenge on Eddie Howe’s side, who edged past newly-promoted Southampton with 10 men before a controversial draw at Bournemouth was followed by a penalty shootout win at Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
