Krul The Hero As Newcastle Beat Tottenham

[Folami David]

Tim Krul was Newcastle's star as the Magpies won 1-0 away to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Sunday.
.
On a day when goalkeepers dominated talk before kick-off and during the match, the Dutchman produced a string of brilliant saves as Newcastle followed up their win over Chelsea with another victory over a top London club.
.
Loic Remy scored the only goal of the game as Newcastle went ninth, three points behind Spurs, who would have gone level on points with second- placed Liverpool if they had won this match.
.
Tottenham went into the last international break on the back of a home defeat to West Ham and their players will join up with their countries this week with further doubts over the club's top-four prospects.
.
For Spurs, France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was a frustrated spectator on Sunday.
.
Lloris was knocked unconscious a week earlier at Everton and Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas was heavily criticised for letting him finish that game.
.
Portuguese boss Villas-Boas had insisted Lloris would play against Newcastle but the former Lyon goalkeeper was told to rest after medical advice.
.
Spurs' head of medical services Wayne Diesel said: "We've continued to monitor Hugo all week and after discussions, Andre and the medical department have agreed to afford the player a couple more days rest.
.
"Hugo is naturally disappointed as he was keen to return to action however we feel this decision is in the players' best interest."
.
Brad Friedel started in goal and Lloris watched the game from the bench.
.
The American veteran was involved in the early action and had to tip away Mathieu Debuchy's volley, then block Yohan Cabaye's effort when he collected the rebound.
