In his debut after returning to the Premier League match, Newcastle at home lost to Tottenham with a score of 0: 2.

According to the head coach of the "forty" Rafael Benitez, the outcome of the match predetermined the removal of midfielder team Jonjo Shelvey.

"From the very beginning the match was very difficult," said Benitez.

"Everything has changed the red card. We need to improve our game. We had moments, but we missed them ".

Also, according to Benitez, the infringement of Tottenham hitter Harri Kane on Florian Lejeune (for which Harry received only a yellow card) was much more drawn to the removal.

"Kane's foul was much rougher. He played more dangerous. Because of his actions, we lost the player ".

"We made a mistake, but perhaps someone should analyze these two points and make sure that it was more dangerous for the".

At the moment, it is not known how serious Lejeune's injury is.
