Jonjo Shelvey’s moment of petulance was punished by Dele Alli and Ben
Davies as Tottenham opened their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win
over 10-man Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
Newcastle kept Tottenham, who finished runners-up last term, at arm’s length during a lacklustre first half, but Shelvey trod on Alli’s ankle three minutes into the second period and was shown a straight red card by referee Andre Marriner.
