"[It's] something we've worked really hard on lately in our game and I think we have the height and power to cause teams problems. Its great to see a great delivery from Sandro [Tonali] and Fabian's [Schar] header was top class. He's always had a goal in him, he's always had that creative side of him game and it was a great moment for him."
"Really pleased because I think when you make the changes we did you hope to see a performance that's in line with our identity and our expectations. I thought the pressing early on in the game and general attitude of the players was very good. I think with the way we work we like to think regardless of the changes we make they deliver a Newcastle performance in line with our expectations."
Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-0 at St James' Park to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Fabian Schar opened the scoring with a header from a Sandro Tonali set-piece delivery. Nick Woltemade added a second after the break by using his height to get ahead of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky and score. Eddie Howe said set-piece work has been a recent focus and praised the team's height and power. Newcastle made eight changes to their starting XI and displayed pressing, strong attitude and collective performances that matched the club's identity and expectations.
