Tottenham Hotspur picked up a 3-2 win on Sunday afternoon, beating Newcastle United 3-2 with Sergio Reguilon shining both as a player and as a man.

St James’ Park was unsurprisingly raucous as Newcastle played their first game since their huge takeover went through.

It was a dream start for Newcastle as Callum Wilson headed the Magpies in front inside just two minutes.

Tottenham took over from then though, with Tanguy Ndombele scoring a beautiful equaliser.

Harry Kane lobbed in number two, before Son Heung-min grabbed a third. Eric Dier’s own goal set up a big finale, but Tottenham came out winners.

Reguilon a star man for Tottenham

There was a major delay to the game after a Newcastle fan suffered heart problems.

Tottenham left back Sergio Reguilon spotted him on the ground in the stands, and told referee Andre Marriner to stop the game.

Eric Dier sprinted to the sidelines to locate a defibrillator, and the quick response from Tottenham players means that fan is now in a stable condition.

Reguilon is earning praise for his quick decision making in that instance, and he performed well on the pitch too.

The Spaniard was a constant threat and even caused Jonjo Shelvey to pick up a red card thanks to a darting run forward late on.

Tottenham fans have been hailing Reguilon’s performance, taking to Twitter to brand him ‘brilliant’ and ‘excellent’.

Others called Reguilon ‘incredible’, ‘fantastic’ and ‘immense’, calling on him to keep this form going.
