Bruce says Newcastle win over Tottenham should 'shut some people up'

The Magpies stunned Spurs on Sunday and their manager believes it should stop criticism of his side after they started with two defeats

Steve Bruce has said he hopes his Newcastle United side have shut their critics up after they stunned Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Magpies had suffered back-to-back defeats to open the season and Bruce and his team had come under fire as a result.

But they defeated last season’s Champions League finalists 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday evening thanks to a Joelinton goal and a heroic defensive performance.
