Hello and welcome to our live commentary from White Hart Lane as Lewis Holtby makes his full debut for Tottenham.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

FULL TIME. Bale's stellar performance delivers a victory for Spurs that puts them ahead of Chelsea in third.

Bale drifts across the face of the goal and past two men before his low angled drive is tipped wide by Krul! He could have had five today.

What a miss! Bale passes up the chance for a hat-trick when he thumps a volley over an open goal from eight yards out!

Bale gets the ball on the right and squares for Livermore, who sees his effort blocked.

Chance for Newcastle! Ameobi ghosts in at the back post to meet a loose ball but Lloris rushes off his line to block behind for a corner.

Jake Livermore replaces the injured Dembele.

We will have seven added minutes - mostly due to Gouffran's injury.

Cabaye could have been given a red card for that - it was a very dangerous challenge and now Dembele is hobbling off the pitch.

Cabaye goes into the book for a crunching tackle on Dembele. His boot caught the Belgian on the ankle and that was a nasty one.

Another driving run from Bale takes him past two men before Krul throws out an arm to tip his fierce effort over the bar.

Newcastle make their final change as Shola Ameobi comes on for Gutierrez.

Stat from Infostrada: "Gareth Bale has now scored all of Tottenham’s goals in the last 3 PL matches totalling 4 goals."

Here is the change as Perch is replaced by Tiote.

Krul completely misses the corner from Bale but Caulker sends the ball wide via his shoulder!

Walker almost skips free down the right but Santon slides in to clear behind for a corner.

Here come Spurs again and this time Coloccini does deal with a pass through to Lennon. It really was awful defending from the Newcastle backline for Bale's second goal.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Newcastle! It's that man Bale again! He surges in to pounce on a loose ball after Taylor and Coloccini fail to deal with it and beats Krul with a classy finish from an angle.

Perch has taken a knock to his foot and Cheick Tiote appears to be getting ready.

This has been a rather poor second half, it must be said.
