Eddie Howe was delighted to watch his side win at Tottenham, their fifth straight win in the Premier League consolidating their place in the top five, although the Newcastle manager refused to be drawn on Anthony Gordon's controversial goal.
The ball struck Joelinton's arm in the build-up to the strike, which levelled the scores before Alexander Isak secured the win, but the officials allowed it to stand.
Ange Postecoglou was furious with the decision but Howe said: "I can't sit here and lie and say I haven't seen it because I have.
"It definitely hit Joelinton’s arm, I can give you that as well, but I am not in control of the referee's decision.
"I believe his arm is down in a natural position and the referee and VAR have followed the rules and protocols that are in place. That's why it is given.
"I have to just concentrate on us and Newcastle. I am just really proud of the effort the players put in and the games we’ve won."
